Despair Springs Eternal
Despair Springs Eternal tells the story of Oliver, a 23-year-old struggling with mental illness. A huge event is on the horizon for him, marking a turning point in his life. This game explores how that event unfolds, and how Oliver's past continues to shape his present - and his future.
The story deals with heavy topics, such as mental health, depression, self-harm, etc. It's a very personal project, largely based on my own real-life experiences. No offense intended towards anyone affected by mental illness.
Along with the serious nature of the story, the game contains lots of humor and comedy. Think Undertale, or Danganronpa to a lesser extent; I was highly inspired by those.
Please note:
The in-game credits are outdated. The full credits are in the credits.txt file. Please let me know if I missed anyone!
The game's story and script are original work by me. Any similarity to real persons or events (aside from my own personal life) is purely coincidental.
