Am I the only person who finds this game depressing?
All this happy and peaceful atmosphere and music, and the fact that you have a much better virtual life than a real one, I dunno how to explain lol. Having a cute pixel wife and living in such a beautiful place makes me sad af.

You might have an actual serious depression. With that said, I wouldn't know cuz I turned the music off. It's too cheerful for me. Try doing that I guess.

I agree with Pyral, I've been in a similar scenario/situation in the past. Best of luck.

OP, if you genuinely find the game to be depressing, despite the fact that it's supposed to take you away from reality, then you might have some form of depression.

Should probably seek help.

/coming from someone with rl problems and finds the game to be extremely refreshing

Makes sense to me.

You're being presented with this idealistic version of rural living when your real life is probably all noise, concrete, pollution, rude people, bills, a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring job...

I can see someone comparing their real lives with their lives in the game, think "man, I wish I had that" and at the very least produce a depressed sigh.

Edit: guessing the word that most closely matches this feeling would be "yearning". A profound longing for something, mixed with feelings of sadness/melancholy.
