Hello y’all,
In the wake of Depression Quest’s Steam release and my own recent struggles with mental illness I decided to interview a few people about the games they’ve made and how they could possibly contribute to a person’s therapy. I got some mixed reactions from the developers here, with some saying that games could be very therapeutic and some saying that it wasn’t. Overall though, nobody really doubted a game’s power to have an impact on somebody’s life and that was very empowering.
Read the rest below and let me know what you think!
