I'm always reluctant to play altgames. For my purposes, an an "altgame" is an interactive experience which has an active purpose to illustrate a alternate point of view or teach the player about a a problem, often using a type of gameplay as metaphor. The point of the this is almost never to entertain, but hopefully promote understanding and illuminate an uncomfortable situation the player might not be completely familiar with. Depression Quest is probably the most famous altgame. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

It especially shows how well-intentioned assistance can be completely misinterpreted by someone suffering the condition. I doubt it's meant to be a "game" for you to enjoy and more a piece of social-awareness art that promotes understanding.
