A Long Weekend

I suspect folks who play this game will either love it or hate it. Mental health is a very complex matter and is a pretty difficult topic to handle in a game medium. For me, I suppose I’m in the category of those who liked this game, but I can understand why some would hate it. For the record, I have also struggled quite a bit with some of the things depicted in this game.

The game does not hold back in its depiction of matters like anxiety and depression, as well as associated issues. Still, it presents a few bright spots, such as a date with someone who cares after a previous episode of rejection. It will be a whirlwind of a weekend as you go through various ups and downs in your difficult mental state.

Generally speaking, the writing was technically solid. Still, some of the chapter headers had a very low res look to them, which was mildly grating.

I managed to get the best ending on my first attempt. I was definitely surprised, since quite a number of people appeared to have difficulty unlocking it even over multiple attempts. (Maybe the author updated the thresholds, or maybe I was just lucky.) Still, it was a good story of a protagonist who pushed back against the demons within. That works for me.
