Burnout without paradise
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Before we start speaking about the game, we need to explain “Why do we make game about depression?” and “How we came to this idea?”. First of all, Depression is Illness. If you feel depression, ask help from doctors and your close relatives. Second, theme of Compo and Jam was “Deeper and Deeper” , and of course we started to think from “exploration cave/deep sea/deep space” , “spelunky style” , “philosophic strange game”. But after hours of brainstorming I was exhausted , feel burnout, and said to myself “Eureka!”. Burnout and depression have fallen into effect , yes , Deeper and Deeper fall into depression hole. So ,yeah, we decided to make a game about falling into depression.
You play as an office worker, and need to make your “very important” tasks. When you do it well your depression meter goes down , when you make it bad it goes up. Simple concept. Interesting things happen when your depression is level up , so try a different style! I Hope our game is at least interesting and a little bit fun !
