As a person with suicidal depression, I can say that fucking game is absolutely worthless and more importantly a mockery of the entire issue; people have the freedom to put out whatever horseshit they want, but that didn't even deserve acknowledgment as a game, much less a steam greenlight. It's even less of a game than Gone Home, and that is a feat in and of itself.
