How disturbing is this?
I have heard alot of good things about this game, and i honestly want to give it a shot.
But as far as i have heard there seems to be some disturbing stuff in it.
As someone who realy doesnt handle horror well, can i still enjoy this?

To avoid spoilers i have avoided reading anything about this game including reviews.
And also no spoilers please.
Thanks in advance.

The warning on display is quite serious.

If you suffer through depression or are anxious, you may wish to reconsider playing the game.

It really depends but in my opinion I'm not sure. I don't get easily disturbed or scared from horror movies/shows but after this game... uh yeah I can say I'm very much easily disturbed.

So if you can't handle horror or disturbing images I'd stay away from this.

can you handle B tier scary movies? then you should be fine
Thanks for the quick answars already!

I might want to add to this that i cant handle ''fantasy'' horror and such.
Like ghosts, or creepy monsters.

I can handle horror stories about murders or something like that

I dont suffer from depression but do am somewhat anxious.

Agains, thanks already for the answars.

I'm the type of person that avoids scary movies, I just absolutely despise anything scary, has pop-ups etc. But this game had me interested for some reason, even though I'm a huge ♥♥♥♥♥ I played this game all the way through, got past it all and I'm still fine!

Weighing in as someone with actual depression who pushed on despite the warnings since I was curious: I wanted to know if Depression/Anxiety were singled out because of how it would impact them (if this was the case, I was really freaking curious about what kind of masterful writing would pull off a targeting of specific conditions) or of Depression/Anxiety would be explored in an uncomfortable truth kind of way (Which, as someone with depression, I wanted to see.)

It was less "disturbing" than an "experience that will stay with me for awhile." While I was going through it, I laughed at a lot of things that were meant to be creepy, purely for the "Oh, that's clever" factor, but when I took a break, the game had hooks in my mind and was prying it open. It dominated my thoughts and stuck with me.

you definitely think about it at least for more than 1 day

I was expecting worse. Maybe you can relate to some of the topics discussed about depression, but it is not something that gets the majority of the game. I'm not saying it doesn't play a big role in the story, but you'll be reading about depression only 20 mins. The rest is pretty innocuous.

I never play scary games or watch scary movies, I literally am the biggest weenie on the entire planet. I was super curious and wanted to play though. If you have any triggers having to do with self harm, suicide, depression, etc. - I'd say avoid it, because those topics are pretty prevalent in the game. I played and I actually really enjoyed it, even though I was spooked a couple of times / there is a lot of shock factor. It gets you hooked on the story so you can get through the scary! It's not horrible, and if someone like me can get through it I think anyone (who doesn't suffer from triggers such as the ones I mentioned above) can play and be alright!

I wouldn’t say this game is “scary”. It’s more along the lines of creepy. If you can handle random creepy events, you will be fine. It’s worth playing though.

Not at all.

It’s just monika

Not as disturbing as the Movie "Earthlings". If you can handle that, you should be able to handle DDLC just fine.
