Neverending Nightmares Fights the Stigma of Mental Illness Through Psychological Horror | |
Neverending Nightmares Fights the Stigma of Mental Illness Through Psychological Horror Infinitap Games' Matt Gilgenbach has created a memorable game by drawing on his own experiences with OCD and depression. | |
Consider me interested. I love what the game seems to be trying to do and explore, and while I do have some worries about how the gameplay might actually turn out, the game has had my attention for some time, and I look forward to its release. | |
I backed the Kickstarter and haven't regretted it yet. The developers are very receptive to community input and suggestions. I'm curious what else they can do with this beyond the alpha build, but so far all the levels have been different in their own ways, so I'm hopeful/confident they can pull this off. Great to see The Escapist provide a bit of publicity to this game! | |
NOW you have my attention. I did not, however, know this was an actual thing. The game itself doesn't look much like something I'd play (though I can appreciate the Edward Gorey aesthetic), but the approach of creation-as-therapy/outlet for mental instability is something I can fully support. | |
As a fan of Edward Gorey, and one who's dealt with the stigma associated with mental illness, this game has sparked some interest. Neverending nightmares is a good title for a game of such subject matter, at least in my view. Having lived most of my life with insomnia, nightmares, and night terrors alternating, sleep is generally something I don't look forward to. | |
As a mental illness sufferer, I spent DECADES thinking I was alone in my weirdo anxiety habits. When I realized there were many others with the same problem, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted. It was the first step in a long process of getting help and getting healthy for me. | |
Same here. I can't wait to get my hands on this! I have to thank The Escapist for running an article spotlighting this game when it was still being Kickstarted. I was immediately interested in it and backed it just as quickly. Thanks guys! | |
The style looks amazing, not sure if it will actually manage to scare me though. But still, it's worth a look. | |
This is very fascinating, as a person with serious mental health issues, i find the thoughts within myself much more frightening than any attempt at horror. This being put into a game with a style that bleeds with despairing creativity, can only be a great thing. Perhaps a cult classic! | |
