Depression Quest

This game was involved in a huge dispute beginning in 2014, a dispute later known as Gamergate.

But I'd like to focus on the game itself. It is a Twine CYOA game that simulates depression. It is very long; there are about 20 or more choices, each with a full page of text, and several non-choices with their own text.

You play a depressed individual, and have to choose how to deal with work, your girlfriend, your family, your real friends and internet friends. The best option is always struck out and in red, while the actual options are in blue.

You have three meters: depression level, therapy level, and medication level.

The game has very high production values, among the highest in CYOA games.
