Reaction to game: Depression Quest


1. What is my react 
my reaction is simple. the games i played was depression quest and being a person that deals with depression it really put it into a wide perspective. it shows what your character goes through and most of the answers you choose are either i feel like i just want to do nothing anymore. or i'll just force myself. my reaction to this is that i'm surprised that they captured depression so well. it's a great game and i loved to play it. it was very addicting to play and you really really never know what the character was going to do once you choose a passage. so overall my reaction is surprised and positive.


2. what connections with you able to make with the story
Like I said in the passage before I deal with depression myself and have always found ways to overcome it. but just like in this story it will always have a chance to wrap around you once again.
there was a part about the character having to work on a project. but one out of the 3 passages you could choose was that you should work on it. I choose that one, to see where it went and it was very accurate. you try to get work done thinking of something to type but as soon as you touch the computer it all leave your head and you end up sitting there thinking of something that will never come. meanwhile you end up checking social media or going on youtube and you find out hours have passed, and you got very little done.
That's Life. That's Depression.


3. what changes would you make to adapt this story into another medium. what mediums to use, what changes to make.
this is a great story to play and leaving it where it is story wise is a great idea but evolving it visually would be great. this game would be a great telltale game.  the vivid environments that also help tell the story, and make your decisions that impact the story in the future. the game itself really could gain a huge audience and could also be the one game to show what depression is really like. I was not able to play though the whole game ut depending on the length of the game it could very well be extended or shortened. those are the only changes I would make.
