Room of depression uses soothing, almost non-existent music, accompanied by long stretches of light dialogue that present you with a somewhat closed and oppressive inner world. As a moon navigating the daily tunnel of life, will you ever feel a sense of loss? Repeating the same things every day, seeing the same scenes in the bright spots of the tunnel and hoping for a sudden disappearance. We all experience numerous people and events every day, but in your heart these things leave no shadow, inexplicably melancholy, a daily burden…
Room of depression is full of interactive details and focuses on depicting the effects of depression. For example, in conversations with others, some words are simple but difficult to pronounce, such as the direct “unhappy” that turns into a hesitant “I’m fine” out of consideration for others. The game requires you to awkwardly drag these letter bubbles to represent the ineffable feeling and illustrate the oppression that depression brings. Added to this is the heavy feeling of tearing down the calendar, where every day is the same and time passes helplessly.
When you play this game, you suddenly get the illusion: “I might be showing mild signs of depression.” You find it difficult to concentrate on tasks, sleep restlessly, constantly feel like chaotic thoughts, lack passion and Joy – beautiful memories are erased over time and all that remains is the helplessness of sadness. This is a day in Moon’s life, seemingly ordinary like ours, but full of depressing thoughts.
The concept behind it Room of depression is from games like Florence, Hellbladewhich are not intended to be entertaining, but rather to express messages and awaken the player’s feelings related to topics such as heartbreak, psychosis and blindness.
