Depression and Videogames

Actual Sunlight, but it's more of a VN than a game.

The stanley parable is pretty depressing imo. No pretentious, teenage 'im depressed' stuff. Just pitch black humour on meaninglessness.
I dont know of any tv shows that do that. Maybe cause tv shows have to be normie approved to get on air but vidya is more independent.

>>39610151
Max Payne, whole series is pretty much one man trying to cope with depression. And slow-mo shooting.

This fucking song is somehow stuck with me. https://youtu.be/zEH_LSL4rVw

This one was depressive as hell. Every character was depressed as well.

>>39610214
what are you talking about
basically every popular comedy show these days is nihilistic and depressive, they just pretend it's self-depreciation

>>39610151
Night in the Woods took an interesting approach to it.

Thanks, brobots. I'll check them out.

>Depression meme
YOU ARE NOT DEPPRESSED JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE SAD, LONELY AND/OR TIRED!
STOP USING THE TUMBLR CATCHPHRAZES JUST TO JUSTIFY BEING A LAZY PIECE OF SHIT!!!

silent hill 2, especially with Angela

yume nikki for depression and saya no uta for being a robot.

>>39610353
OP never said he was depressed

Although it might be a little edgy at times, LISA is worth checking out. The main character suffers from depression and ptsd

>>39610151
the first episode (and ONLY the first) of Anohana

>>39610353
I said I was depressed on here. People told me this. Got diagnosed with chronic severe depression. Fuck off faggot.

LISA is awesome, some fan made games for this universe are top tier.

Check out this one track from Lisa https://youtu.be/6BoVNqSzWe0, always gives me eerie feeling.

these games will show you how it is to be depressed. Lisa will MAKE you depressed.

Kill yourself. Seriously. Go jump off a balcony and end your life.

Reread your post, you retarded mouthbreather.

>>39610354

>>39610430
This, has bretty gud writing too

>>39610151
now I know the sauce of that pepe/wojak image

>>39610562
Which one? The party one? I believe this one came later and not the other way around.

>>39610353
>Just because you want to die every day for months it doesn't mean you're depressed.
Wew, thanks, anon. And I thought I was ill! Hahahahahaha! I feel so better now. Thanks for pointing it out. You're so smart and perceptive. Now I can be happy again. :)

Indigo Prophecy is kinda up there, well, if you make proper choices it can be a real downer. Main hero might be /ourguy/.

my favorite track in the game, LISA: The painful honestly has my favorite ending out of all the games ive played. How you have to kill your party, turn into a joy mutant whilst fighting randos army, kill rando, probably the only person who loves you even though you have neglected him, and in the end finding out it was all for nothing

>>39610492
might be true haha, it gives you a glimpse into the mind of a man plagued by his past though, which is interesting and relatable to many

>>39610538
yeah, many interesting things in that game. especially the joy mutants

>>39610151
madden 2017, one of the most emotional games I ever played.

>>39610688
Spoiler that shit, nigga. You'll kill OP.

>>39610301
Im not considering shit like reddit and memey talking about depression.
They show what normies think depression is

>>39610627
hang it up

I like you anon. Rando and Terry 4 lyfe. I wish Austin would make more games, he's got a real knack for this grim shit.

If you haven't seen Lisa The Pointless I highly recommend, it's a "fan game" but even Austin said it's as good(or even better) as original LISA.

>>39610701
at the end you the main character loses his leg and can never play football again, and he realizes that all his life has been wasted and he have no other skills or someone that loves, all he know is how to play football. The last scene is him tying a rope to the ceiling but the game doesn't make it clear that he committed suicide,
it's a cliff hanger for the sequel

>>39610815
>He got the bad ending.

Point at him and laugh.

Thanks anon, gonna go play

>>39610756
i like you too man, i will check pointless out

also rando deserved better than being nearly killed by brad and then having to stick around with buddy, i felt bad for him most out of any character. And yeah having austin make something like a prequel, letting us know more about yado and such, would be a dream come true

>>39610242
Oh my god, I fucking loved that airport segment.

Played it while suffered from quite severe alcoholism. Whole game felt like a trip. But it kinda felt good when it ended. A lot of ppl hated that ending cause it wasn't your typical happy ending, I loved it.

Just comparing Max in the first game and in the end of the last one. It's like he went thru all the stages of grief.

>>39610151

Dear Esther is a good pick too. Deals with loss and sorrow. Not as much a game as it is a VN/interactive novel.

>>39610742
I genuinly liked that game, but I might remember stuff that wasn't in the game actually, shit was so long ago, fuck, almost 13 years ago.

Play silent hill 2 its one of the best psychological horror games out there and it's full of depressing themes

>>39610430

Pity the creator is now a massive sjw.

>>39612324
I thought he just had a nervous breakdown after his father died.

Papers Please is kind of depressing but a fun game all the same.

>>39610214
Remember thay time you made somebody helplessly watch as you comitted a long drawn out and uncomfortable suicide?

>>39610500
It is
>muh science
Nobody is depressed with their life all sorted out. You dont have a fulfilling social life friends family wealth and are depressed u jump fegit

>>39612631
>Nobody is depressed with their life all sorted out.
Actually, yes they are.

>>39610151
Where did that pic originate from? It looks like Russia.

Every time the screen turns black and I can see my reflection

Depression is just a meme so how could it be portrayed correctly if it only exists in the minds of the mentally ill?

>>39610151
Wow OP pic has happened to me before.
I can feel his pain.

Literally every sadfuck who's lazy and doesn't achieve anything just parrots "uh but muh depression it was rigged against me from the start".

>>39612631
>implying rich and famous people with women slobbering over their dick and men idolizing them have never offed themselves
Happiness is all mental. Some people just don't have the right chemical balance and can't derive pleasure from anything at all. In the end, the final decision comes down to how much you hate yourself, because why would you bother trying if you don't want to see yourself succeed?

Aku No Hana. Not a truer robot manga out there.

>>39614560
Maybe 13, 14. The boy looks like an effeminate faggot. I wonder where that pic came from, the original source of it.

>>39614560
an older girl after a young boy, clearly a predator, look at the body language.

there was a girl like this at my highschool, she was 18 and loved to fuck 12/13 year old virgins, imagine if a guy did that.

>>39614462
Yeah, the richest kid I've ever known was really depressed (on meds, didn't enjoy anything and just sat in the production studio he set up in his house). Ironically, some of the happiest I've ever known were poor people with objectively "worse" lives but they were always laughing and having cook-outs and shit. Nothing really lingered with them, they basically lived in the moment. I'm not sure if they were too aware of anything else but it made them more jovial either way.

>>39614593
how many chapters is this?

>>39614593
>>39614789
Don't bother anon it fucking sucks. It's the kind of manga you read with your dick out if you've got a fetish for being embarrassed or getting cucked or whatever. If you try to read it seriously it's mind-bogglingly retarded.

>>39610247
The Void is up there in my top 5 games ever, right after Soma and Bloodborne

>>39613833
ive seen the set before, can't find it anywhere on my laptop though

>>39610151
The critically-acclaimed Depression Quest, by world class developer A. Sarkeesian.

>>39610151
South park epsiode called "you're getting old stan"

>>39614593
Can I watch the anime instead?

>>39611346
but its too scary!

>>39615794
Pure gold anon
>>39615338
Good one, I don't recommend if you had depression b4, it's triggering

>>39610151
I think Bojack Horseman is good at portraying depression

>>39610756
As far as I know he's working in a new game called Ninja Tears. Hope is not lost. I don't know if it'll be as powerful as the Lisa series, but I'm already sold on any shit he releases.
