Description
Depths is a short, emotionally-charged game experience built for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It explores the concept of passive suicidal ideation using a metaphor created by mental health writer Anna Borges in her article I am not always very attached to being alive.
You find yourself in the middle of the ocean, clinging to some driftwood, with little memory of how you got there. Can you find your way to safety?
