It's free, I know I've had it installed before, and I probably should have played it a decade ago.

Some weirdo GamerGator on YouTube felt the need to shit on the game after I mentioned Zoë Quinn, though, so that gave me the jolt I needed to finally give it a try.

So it's a text-based adventure game about a guy with depression. Mechanically, the depression manifests in the form of disabled choices. And... I can relate to a lot of this, to some degree.
