Sometimes you just need that daily TLC. This game is here to help provide that. People kind of overlook how much frequent positive interaction helps improve their mental, and I think the developer of this game understood that. People come here for warmth, and succor.

What this game isn't however, is a substitute for professional help. Something the author similarly noted, and gave some potentially life-saving information in the game with easy access for those who feel like they truly have no options left.

I have nothing but genuine praise for this experience so far. There's some very heavy emotional burdens you're going to be confronted with, and I want you to know that it's O.K. to not respond to those. You're not a professional (probably) and it's not your job to fix people's problems life problems in in fourteen lines of dialogue However, sometimes just some warm wishes, and well-meaning concern can go a long way towards helping these people at least feel comforted -- which is ultimately the name of the game here.

I would urge pragmatist to stay away from this game though. Your advice may be genuinely sound, but it's not often the advice that's sought after in a lot of instances, but rather the nuance of simply making the other person feel listened to enough to hopefully get through a rough time.

If you see anyone talk about ending their own life, the author has provided the hotline number for reference. I would personally ask that you plug in this number and urge the concerned party to contact them. You could be potentially saving a life.
