If you're looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally impactful gaming experience, Destined to Die is worth playing.
Personal note: This game may be repetative but that's the point. People who have depression often follow cyclical habits given their environment and trauma. Unless they develop proper support systems and get the proper help they need, the cycle will relentlessly continue. Even I falter and pull away at times, unhealthily so.
Find those that ground you, reach out and keep pushing. You deserve to be here. Find your purpose. Mine is to leave the world giving far more than I taken.
It may not be much but I hope my words here reach you well. Be kind to yourself for me okay?

this game is incredibly confusing, tedious, and frustrating almost the entire playthrough, but it is so beautiful. once you reach a point where you get over the nonsensical gameplay and find a routine to get yourself through each day, you really see the game for its gorgeous story and incredible design. I think everyone reading this or considering getting this game needs to experience it.
