The most mature way to participate in the itch-adjacent depression indie scene is to treat their work with the same respect you would a single painting at an art gallery. Look it over, imagine the circumstances it comes from, put yourself in the artist's shoes, and then move on.

I wrote a more cynical review of this a while ago, I didn't want to keep it up but it's on pastebin for preservation: https://pastebin.com/9WwSFZDz

I appreciate the fact that you didn't shit on it just because it doesn't appeal to you.

I was honestly pretty happy to play it even if the experience wasn't my thing. It was both a good palate cleanser and a reality check. Kinda forced me to self-reflect and think hard about game culture after playing nothing but shmups and arcade shlock for all of 2021
