No, but you will find it sad. And I think what's more compelling is you will question the choices you make; is this really what you would do?

I recommend playing it. It can be intense but incredibly powerful; simple choices like "who gets to eat today" really bring it home. Easily the best game of the last few years.

Being sad and feeling such things isn't a bad thing. There's got to be a balance to everything.

i agree. not only that, there are so many beautiful feelings to be found within the realm of "sadness". and don't let that emotional pain be a barrier to you experiencing meaningful things that'll help you grow.

If you play it like a strategy game with not much feeling, you will not get depressed.

If you get read the text, feel the emotions and really get inside the story, you will probably feel depressed.

I know I did feel depressed a bit after playing it. That's actually one of the reasons I stopped after 2 playthroughs.

That's still a good game, and I recommend playing it.

Probably not. Narcissu will get you depressed. War of Mine is still too mechanical.

Only when you discover how short it is.
