This is a game I came across while suffering through a severe depression episode, unfortunately this game is in Early Access and has been abandoned. Despite that, this game has helped me through my Depression episode. The premise of the game is that you're someone who is alone, as a result you're sad and constantly crying. The very dark atmosphere around you (Both how the game feels and how it visually looks), I believe reflects how life feels when depression has a very strong grip on you. At the start of the game, you see the main character crying while being surrounded by pure darkness. Before the camera pans across the map towards the gates of light with the following quote appearing: "It is better to seek light than to rest in darkness." I loved this approach, since throughout my experience with depression. They're usually accompanied by negative thoughts, these thoughts (In this case, this is the darkness Seen is referencing) can be used to guide us towards the source of our pain that fuels the depression. For example, if loneliness is fuelling your depression and causing you to remain in the darkness. Try to focus on sending a message or reaching out to a friend. If you don't have a friend, you can try finding one by exploring communities that has mutual interests. By doing that, you gradually start healing the pain that causes these thoughts to have power over you. You don't have to take big steps when healing with this pain, even just doing something small still means you're healing your depression. Each step you take is one step closer back into the light. As you keep doing this and heal the pain depression has over you. You'll be stepping into the light, which is a reflection of waking up each day, happy with the life you have and what awaits you throughout the day <3 Expanding on this point for a moment. Seen at one point hits you with the following quote: "The negativity of the world can't put you down unless you allow it to get inside you." Which to me represents that it's possible to maintain a happy, positive outlook on life as long as you don't let the shadows (Negativity) that surround it get to you. I feel like when depression is doing it's thing, it's very easy to forget about this. Throughout the journey of Seen, it has the common theme of Hope. It conveys this both through visual illustration and the quotes that are displayed to you. Seen also likes to engage in something known as "Positive thought substitution.". I believe Seen does this since when depression is hitting us hard, we like to believe we're failures. What Seen does is give you some challenging obstacles/puzzles, but each time you die it hits you with a quote that reframes the defeat into a positive experience: "No matter amount the times you fail you must be determined to succeed. You must not lose hope." "Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough." "Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavour" While some of these quotes are about building resilience and how you will overcome any obstacle life throws at you. The last quote I mentioned is probably my favourite. Since it talks about how each defeat you have, will only make the moment you overcome the challenge/obstacle even more satisfying. Each time you make a mistake, you learn something you didn't know before about the obstacle you're stuck on. You became a better version of yourself. You aren't a failure because you made a mistake, you instead became a better version of yourself. Not only do you become a better version of yourself, but you are also causing a bigger dopamine overload to hit you when you do overcome this obstacle. So I like to think making mistakes is also a good thing ^^ One of the ways Seen visually explores Hope is through a cat, you see this cat on your journey and it brings you happiness when you hold it. To me this cat symbolises hope. When you're going through depression, it is very easy to let the thoughts overwhelm you and enter a numbed out state (Also known as bed rotting). While you're going through this, it's important to fixate on something that brings you happiness and hope. Use it as your reason to keep on pushing forward, a reason to keep on going each day. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it serves as a core reason to keep on going. As long as it matters to you, then it's important. No matter what anyone else says <3 For me right now, one of the reasons for me to keep on pushing through when the depression hits is so I can continue playing through the Xenoblade Chronicles (Video game) story as I really connect with the characters. If I disappeared, I wouldn't be able to witness the conclusion to it. That's what the cat represents to me: A reason for you to keep on staying around, since there will always be something in this world that is worth sticking around for <3 Depression can trick you into thinking there isn't anything sticking around for, but I promise you that's a lie. Don't fall for the deceit it tries to throw at you, just try to look hard enough and you'll quickly notice there's something worth sticking around for. Whether it's a goal or a certain individual in your life <3 Remember that you are and always will be Seen <3 Never let depression convince or tell you otherwise.
