I’ve added a new build - I’m re-play testing the game, and wanted to lengthen the ending message (more time spent on each sentence). So there are little minor edits being fixed.
I’ve put a notice in the game description, but I wanted to address it here as well.
Daniel Kyre of Cyndago is in this game. He passed away on the 18th September, around 4 months after this game was completed. He died from an apparent suicide attempt. I’ve sat and thought long and hard about his place in the game, considering the topics that are covered.
I decided to leave Daniel in, as he is. I don’t know if it’s insensitive or in bad taste. But it is the reality of the situation. Daniel was a kind, funny, caring guy. And the turmoil beneath the surface is rarely seen. I’m not writing this so you can read things into the game character’s words - I completed this game long before he died, and I never knew him personally or knew what was going on in his life. But I feel I owe it to him, to both include him, and address the issues that I do.
I suffer from depression. Sometimes I want to die. Sometimes the pain is so bad I lock myself in the toilets and cry or I don’t get out of bed all day. And I can’t say how Daniel felt, or what he was going through. But I can show how depression CAN be, for some people at least. I can do that. I can do that for Daniel, and I can show that he was a good person.
I can do that.
If it’s still here when you see this, there’s a donation page for Daniel’s family, do give if you can: https://www.gofundme.com/RememberDaniel
