Overview
Description

Depression Quest is an interactive fiction game that puts you in the shoes of someone navigating life while battling depression. Through a series of everyday scenarios, you make choices that affect your relationships, work, and treatment options, highlighting the challenges many face. The game aims to foster empathy for sufferers and reassure those dealing with depression that they are not alone. It also serves as an educational tool for players unfamiliar with the condition, illustrating its profound impact on daily life.

Sister Tabitha awakens after eight years to investigate the vanished orbital monastery, Enoch's Hope, while haunted by recurring visions of a DMT‑laden Garden of Paradise. The game plunges you into a metaphysical adventure that questions the nature of God and death. Presented by the avant‑garde Shovelware Queens, this indie title blends unsettling narrative, puzzle exploration, and retro‑style visuals into a single‑player experience that feels like an unlicensed Bible thriller reborn.
