College, a fun time for some, a bad time for others. All have hopes and dreams, but some demons pull them down to a hole they can’t climb out of. Life changes based on the smallest things, and those who suffer can sometimes see a light to help escape the darkness, or be forever wrapped in it.
RPG Gamers summaryHidden Life is a game that explores the complex and often misunderstood issues of depression and suicide. Players take on the role of two different characters, each with their own unique stories and experiences. Through exploring different areas and interacting with unique characters, players will be able to uncover the truth behind the characters’ struggles and ultimately make choices that will affect the outcome of the game. With four unique endings, players will be able to experience the story from different perspectives and gain insight into the struggles of those who suffer from depression. Although the game does not contain graphic content, it deals with difficult topics and should be approached with caution. The game is based on the creator’s own experiences, and is meant to illustrate that no one is ever to blame for choices made by others, and that without knowing exactly what is going on, it can be difficult to understand the struggles of those who suffer.
