About

Untitled Darkness is a short game that deals with depression. Depression can leave you powerless, feeling there is no way to escape it. While it has you trapped, it only allows you to see its darkness, hiding any light from you. In the game, you experience someone’s struggle with depression. You witness how it distorts how they feel about themselves as they struggle to escape it. A few years ago I released a similar themed game about depression. While it was my 1st game and wasn’t perfect, I was proud of what I had accomplished. Over the years I have gotten better with art, animation, and general game design. Looking back at it, I felt a need to revisit that game with more mature eyes. This is a retelling of that game.

    It’s definitely an experience and an important one at that, and I’m a big fan of solo developers experimenting with their art forms and concepts – it’s great that Xbox is giving a platform to these types of games. It’s helped that the art style and subject matter are both well-executed and designed, as well as being very prevalent in our recent examinations of mental well-being. However, it’s going to be the lack of pace and gameplay options – as well as the length – which will put a lot of people off.
