So has anybody actually "played" this?
All the quinspiracy shit aside, this game's fucking terrible. Looks cheap and badly made, narrow scope of choices and incredibly hamfisted writing.
>>321033574
It says non-interactive right there, dumbass. Its all intentional, thats the message - depression. Its not a game, its art.
>>321033574
>All the quinspiracy shit aside, this game's fucking terrible
It's shit. Remember for all the indie games that deserve more exposure, some pig that fucks a few beta males will get it instead.
people with depression are too numb to tell it's a bad game
>>321033705
It's a shit art as well. It made me feel depressed but only because I wasted 15 minutes of my life with that dog turd.
>>321033574
I thought it was pretty good for what it was.
>>321033705
2/10 made me reply
>>321033574
I actually played it before the shitstorm that happened on some random website. It was really shitty, and kinda creepy desu.
As someone with actual depression, shit.
It amounted to 'pick the slightly good options to unlock the better options'. Got best end first try.
Depression ain't that easy.
>>321033728
That didn't happen, though.
You retards just became some actual beta's personal army and made her famous.
>>321033574
Last time I checked less than a thousand played the game.
>>321033776
>it made me feel
Its good art.
>>321033862
Also had very severe depression and this abortion of a piece of software somehow managed to both take itself way too seriously and trivialise the matter both at once with the way it presented you choices. I remember some of the options being worded like "Go to the party and feel awkward and leave early" or "Go home and cry listening to linkin park".
Where was the option for "Do something actually good for a change because having depression doesn't make you completely incapable of doing things that make you happy".
>>321033574
As someone who suffered with depression, I thought it was pretty decent for what it was and did a decent job as showing how depression can be for suffers.
Remember the entire game was made in a game jam and was released for free to raise awareness for mental health.
Most people hate it simply because it was made by Female Phil Fish.
>>321034121
If I kill your dog is it good art because you feel sad and angry? Or does that just make me an asshole.
>>321034278
>Where was the option for "Do something actually good for a change because having depression doesn't make you completely incapable of doing things that make you happy".
It can and it does.
When I suffered from depression I had no energy to do anything but wallow in my own self pity. I cut myself off from friends I cut myself off from things I liked.
>>321034365
>Remember the entire game was made in a game jam
I didn't realize that.
I struggled with depression for a long time and I thought it was pretty good at it, and the way certain options were just inaccessible depending on earlier choices was, I thought, a pretty clever mechanic for what would've otherwise been a very straightforward thing.

Noah liked depression quest and highly recommended it.
>>321034365
>raise awareness of depresion

Surely if anybody involved with this gave even half a fuck about properly encouraging depression awareness they'd put more than an afternoon's work into it.
>>321034278
>Where was the option for "Do something actually good for a change because having depression doesn't make you completely incapable of doing things that make you happy".
No that's exactly what depression can do to people, actually.

>>321033574
I did, it was pretty awful, it reminded me of those "educational" flash games that prevent you from succeeding to get it's point across, like that one where you're supposed to balance your budget as a poor person and it just goes BUT YOU GOTTA BUY THIS BEER THO

>–__–
get the fuuuuuuuuuuuck outta here
>>321034468
Not for all people. Because there's a huge specrum in the scope, severity and way people feel depression I thought it did a particularly bad job at representing that. When I was depressed I could still enjoy myself sometimes if I distracted myself, managed to find the effort to be social, and I think that's probably true for a large number of sufferers.
>>321033574
I read on Kotaku that it's better than Civ 5 with the Brave New World expansion pack.
>>321034734
Oh god, it's exactly like that, I think I played one similar that was about drunk driving.
>>321034621
Yes is CAN do that, it doesn't always do that. That's my point. A game that revilves around presenting you options actually gives you very restricted choices.

>>321034278
I think you missed my point. My point was that it simplified it too much, so it was too easy to just pick the best choices and work your way up. Real depression is much more complicated, and I don't think a choice based game can ever really do it justice.
>>321036194
Modern art is absolutely fine.
Hyper-abstract art is what's shit. You can blame the Dada movement for emphasizing meaning over execution, and they've been doing their shit for a hundred years.
The original tumblrites, mad that people were good at what they were doing.

I just hate it when people do arbitrary shit and get praise for it, you don't want to know how much that hyper-abstract art shot goes for.
Wizards did nothing wrong, but were blamed for everything due to one lying sjw and her gaming journalists goons.

I want to see this.
Short version:
depression quest failed greenlit
bitch lied that wizards and said they all went to downvote her game
tons of journalists picked up on it for clickbait
steam gave her game another chance
she got tons of pity votes after and passed greenlit
wizards didn't do nuffin
My psychologist friend did and she told me that it's not using the term "depression" correctly
A lot of pissbaby MRAs in this thread lmao. Leave, you're not welcome here anymore.

>and did a decent job as showing how depression can be for suffers
no it didn't, fuck off
>>321038721
I understand, you're not wrong to, and there's been a large backlash against it for good reason. Fucking hyper-abstract artwork and fuck the people who enable it.
Just that "modern art" includes all contemporary illustrators, quite a few of whom are pretty fucking good.

If you can't draw for shit. Just throw some random shit together and have tons of journalist repeat that it's art. Then it will be worth millions.
That's the exact same kind of bullshit gaming journalist and sjw tried since they can't make games for shit.
>>321038953
This.
A 4/10 pig with sjw friends got her trash special treatment. End of story.

>>321036194
That second video is awful. It's a conceited man presenting his opinion on the direction of art as fact and cherrypicking to an insane degree to try and back up his point. It's a shame too, since I don't entirely disagree with what he's trying to say. There is a lot of bad modern art, but he's applying logic which at its core seems to boil down to 'only things old and accepted count as art'.

Ok everyone, so even if you was not really "part" of the GG thing. Is it agreed that Wizardchan "raid" was a major asshole move?
>>321042717
wizardchan did nothing wrong in this situation
it's a shitty site that will NEVER fill the void that the chon left but they did nothing moreally wrong, only wrong in terms of competence
>>321042887
That is what I meant, Quinn creating a fake raid by Wizardchan was fucking awful. That was kind of gave me pro-leaning. The doxxing and shit by GG was wrong 100% but come on. There was almost no clean hands in this "fight"
>>321043357
>doxxing and shit by GG
eh?
>>321043553
Odds are it was just baphomet trolling within GG but there has been a few doxes against anti-GG people
>>321043996
There have also been many doxes against pro-GG
>>321043996
Personally, I won't take sjw's words for it when they claim they are doxxed. They are known liars playing the victim card.
>>321044139
That is what I meant when I say there is almost no clean hands in this fight.
Watching the scientist dude get turned into a crying mess over the shirt was like Wizardchan Round 2
>>321043996
>>321044370
You're wrong there.
GG are the one that are clean in this fight. Even baphomet are really sjw pretending to be gg just to smear gg's name. sjw are going so far and wise to smear gg that they will resort to anything these days.
Just talk to both sides and ask them honestly. One will embrace while using logic and reasoning. The other will just shut you out and ban you without letting any questions or reasoning.
>>321044139
It's two sides of effectively anonymous people. The amount of false flagging and people taking it too far would be huge if we ever had a clear picture of it, but we never will. Not to mention neither side has real leaders or even clear goals.
It's just one huge shit flinging match, and everyone involved should be ashamed
>>321038423
They literally sent death threats to like dozens of people
They could've done a good thing with the attention and those faggots started a twitter hashtag instead.

Oh FUCK man I had to take am hour long anti-sexual assault thing like this a year or two ago for uni.
It looked like a bad ps1 game and literally every choice in every situation was a "correct" one despite there always being multiple options.
Fuckin Orwellian bullshit
>>321045601
Look on twitter you stupid faggot
>>321033574
Only first few pages, shit is terrible, I played/read gamebooks that were way more fun that that shit.
You want a good game, play "actual sunlight" shit made me want to off myself it resonating with me so fucking strong.
Just play 2D version, I cant vouch for 3D
>>321033750
Thisfor that matter I am too numb to tell good game as wellI even save images not because I like them but because people ask for source or say they got bonner or something, just save them now hope one day I'll be able to enjoy them
>>321034672
This post fills me with DETERMINATIONto call you a fucking faggot
>>321033705
If that's art then so is this shit
I have been somewhat curious about it mainly to answer one question I've had, if anyone in this can answer it and save me the hassle, it would be appreciated.
Does it actually do anything with the theme of depression other than 'It's a thing.'?
Because the worst way this could've gone down was (Which I have a feeling it did.) just to try and raise awareness about depression which is one of the biggest circle-jerks you could ever commit when your entire fanbase is trans-xeno-depression-kin. They know depression exists, they don't need more assurance of this.
They way I hope it goes down (Probably doesn't but I hope) is it shows that there is an end to depression, that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Because if there is anyone that needs to know that, it's that sorry lot of shitters.
>>321046640
Not really, but I doubt it could have done anything either. It encourages opening up and talking to others about your problems and getting therapy if it's as severe as the character in Depression Quest is (since that's how you get the good ending) but that's about it.
>>321047076Is the bad end an hero
>>321047208
No. The bad end isthe character losing his girlfriend, implied to be about to lose his job, and not even able to care enough about anything to lie to his family about his depression at a family get together. Instead he just kinda looks at the ground and doesn't answer.
>>321039379
>using = for comparison
>person who doesn't understand depression a single iota makes a shit game
>game journos circle jerk it/her
>>321047367So the G rated version of an hero.
>>321047641
Basically. The little description on how bad your depression is (which changes based on if you take the retarded actions instead of the smart ones) describes him as spending almost all day sleeping or in bed staring at the wall, silently panicking about how shitty his life is but too scared to do anything.
So yeah, off screen death.
Played it. It's not much of a video game but it would be a nice teaching tool for those who want to become a psychiatrist.
>>321039379
>repeating lines of code
JUST
>>321046552
You're right. If enough people claim it's art, then it is.
That's the point of art. It's not logical. ANYTHING can be considered art if you think long and hard about it. People have made "art" out of shit and that's considered art by some.
The world of art is beyond retarded. It's a hobby for the rich and stupid. As long as enough people say it's art and it's worth millions, then it is. How fucking retarded "art" is.
Gaming journalist and sjw are trying to create the same bullshit with video games. So they won't have to put any effort into making games anymore and yet still call it "ART". They make bullshit powerpoint crap like depression quest and call it "ART" just so they can make money and make a name out of worthless powerpoint slides. It's disgusting how they are trying to manipulate the industry like this.
If you can't make good games, claim it's "art". That is the bullshit that gaming journalists and sjw are trying to push.

It's disgusting how they play victim and get away with it.
>>321033574
Is it actually about depression or is it one of those 'so depressed ;-;' things where people just want attention?
>>321048315
It's about shitting on depressed people and kicking them when they are down.
>>321048315
it's a person's shitty first attempt at a "game" thrown together for the sake of banking on articles and establishing themself as a "developer" in the indie game scene for publicity-revenue
>>321034734
That seems the worst way to drive home that point.
It would be better if it just pointed out beer is a great way to dull your misery, or started you out as an alcoholic and punished you with withdrawal effects.
When you arbitrarily lock people down in an 'educational' game like that instead of doing it via gameplay mechanics you just make people wonder more 'why do you need beer dude, jus b less poor! :^) ' instead of underlining 'they need beer to stave off the desire to end their worthless life'
>>321037720
>You can blame the Dada movement for emphasizing meaning over execution
Wasn't Dada mostly jokers who got pissed off once people started taking it seriously?
it's fine but i resent that she makes $4000 a month or whatever, i'm too depressed to check, while the rest of the twine community starves to death.
she was barely even a part of the scene, she just made friends in high places and capitalized on it.

I remember seeing an "adaptation" of The Catcher In The Rye. It was one of those modern art pieces, a blue screen for about an hour. Half of people called it amazing, profound, a great work of art, a true masterpiece about depression, failure of life and what it means to be human. Other half said it was a piece of shit. And then i got it. Those who called it shit were rigth, but only partially. The book was mostly about a guy dealing with "phonies". And the movie was made to lure them out. A true bait. Modern art itsn't that bad, it's just that most boring examples are put in the spotligth, while those that are actually good are a mere sidenote.
>>321050052
That anon was right about == being the comparative operator when it comes to numerical stuff, bools and some other things, but with strings specifically it's not the right thing to use
This is the same in many other languages like java and C#
>>321049890
Only in java.
>>321036194
okay except this isn't modern art
it's hypertext, hypertext has been around forever. twine is basically just hypercard.
i guess some people take offense to calling this stuff a "game" for some stupid reason, but desu any kind of interactive crap, whatever it is, it all belongs to the same artform imo. "game" is just the nomenclature.
so just shut up about it already.

burden of proof is on you. only actual death threats I ever saw were suspicious at best.
they claimed to call the police and were scared to go home, but police and fbi stated the main anti-gamergaters were in no actual danger, and they were later proven to have never left their home.
assholes like milo, on the other hand, were sent syringes of mysterious fluid, and people lost their jobs for supporting them. there's also bomb threats made on conventions with gamergate panels.
they actually also kept the police involved with the terrorist actions done against them.

The easiest way to shit up any activist/protest group is pretend to be them and try to incite violence or harassment to sabotage the public image of their cause. This is basic shit, anon. Anonymous postig makes it super easy to to do this, it happened when GG was here, and it escalated after they left.
And asking GG what theyre doing will get reams of infographs and links to explain what they're doing, SJWs just add you to the blockbot after they get their final word in, usually an insult.
But, keep pushing that narrative, I'm sure being a numale ally beta orbiter will grant you clemency for being cismale when the time comes
