    Drowning was a different experience. I don’t hate it. To be fair, I’m glad I played it, and I commend the developer for pouring his heart and soul into this project. I just don’t think that this should have been a piece of interactive “entertainment”. This a poorly coded and poorly written game with glitches that completely ruin whatever kind of immersion it was trying to provide to the player.

    There are games that handle these topics so much better, and they’re fun to play on top of it. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Night in the Woods, and This Strange Realm of Mine all come to mind as games that give depression, anxiety, mental issues, and related topics the respect they deserve. If nothing else, unlike Drowning, none of them will have a weird ending that vaguely suggests that suicide is the better option. So they have that going for them.
