Destined to Die

kitty got thanos snapped :(

"Destined to Die" is a poorly made attempt from an amatuer developer to cure depression. What do you do in the game? Shamble through a godawful 2D retro looking "adventure" style game to collect images to put on your wall and deal with the futility of life and depression as the developer hamfistedly approaches mental health issues without understanding them. Almost more of an e-book than a video game, there's a die-and-retry philosophy that adds little to nothing in terms of value. Trying to address serious issues such as mental and emotional health through the medium of video games is misguided and can be harmful. While it's plausible to suggest the intention was noble, this can do more harm than good. The "developer" here is not a professional in areas of mental health and social problems, and when they use video games to pretend they are, this is not only utterly ineffective, it can be harmful. It's my opinion that it's improper to use video games to address mental health issues. Apart from the harm such hamfisted attempts at addressing social problems can cause, this offers zero benefit to PC gamers. People suffering from health issues or other social problems should seek out professional help rather than going to crap shovelware video games attempting to get attention/fame by exploiting such problems for their own benefit, as is the case here. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. This is only free in a rudimentary sense... the developer has their hand out for a $10 USD "donation" for this as you're expected to buy some extra DLC from Steam... digital panhandling. Like the homeless guys who splash dirty water on your windscreen at the traffic lights. No thanks. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.

I liked how the game dropped hints as you go along. It got really frustrating in the middle but it's all worth it when you figure it out in the end. The boosts of inspiration in the game is just serotonin inducing :3 . Overall, a simple game but well executed.

While I finished the game in about an hour, achievements and all, I did enjoy playing it. I adore pixel style games so this is right up my alley. The story is so important and it was amazing playing how the devs created this message in their own way. I would definitely recommend this as a quick little game to make you think about life and death and make you appreciate what you have.

ok
