It's so fucking scary, the last seconds ?? I think this game did a really really good job at the "I need this to stop, i'm overwhelmed by everything going on. I need a break and the only way to get a break with life that never pauses, is to put an end to it."
But also showing the (completely reasonable) fear/regret that people have during their final moments.
(SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!!)

also realizing that he's talking to himself, I believe? he's realizing that he's not dead yet and he needs to call someone. Or, in reality, someone finds him/walks into the apartment. Is so?? It's terrifying to think that someone finds you at your most vulnerable, but it's also *???* to think that's the thing that makes you realize fuck- you were genuinely about to die.
You were about to lose all your favorite foods, drinks, fuzzy blankets, favorite shirts, and most of all--your cat--forever. And your cat loses you too, how genuinely upsetting!!!
Thank you Devs! and stay safe everyone, I love you!

Hi, I'm Giwi, a Software Engineer & Content Creator.
I recently downloaded this game to laugh at it for being around the suicidal and depressive state. Let me back up, I was diagnosed with Severe Depressive Disorder at the age of 15. Ever since, it's haunted me, all I think about is suicide or death until I got medication. I decided to speak open about it yet still having "bad thoughts".
I recently downloading this game thinking it'll just be another one of those death and suicide games. But. Wow. Once I've read mid-near the ending. It changed me. I felt scared for myself, my family.
This changed my perspective on things, yes, I still have minor thoughts but it's from my brain, a neurological kind of issue. But. This game changed everything for me.
I can't fully explain depression. No one can. It's so awful to put to words, it's worse than any sadness or breakup sadness or death sadness. It's just horrifying.
This game has changed my perspective on everything, whomever made this, thank you. Seriously, thank you. I'm 16 now. I've been better ever since, I look back at this game almost everyday. It is my realization to reality of suicide, death, depression.
Love, Theodore (Giwi).
hey, I’m the creator of this game, and I’m sending you lots of love. Suicidal thoughts and actions are something I’ve struggled with for a long time. The struggle feels so isolating, so alienating, like we’re the only ones who have ever felt this way… you are not alone my friend, find ways to connect with others. Find ways to express how you feel in a way authentic to you.
Suicide feels so idyllic at times, until someone close to you does it, and the reality of it all comes crashing down… it brings a lifetime of pain to many around you, and there’s no telling what’s on the other side.
Love, Lex
Damn. Loved the message of this short game
