Despite some missteps with its gameplay, Indygo is a deeply immersive, realistic, and nuanced depiction of depression.

A very poignant game that will hopefully help people to speak out about their struggles, as well as showcase just how important storytelling is in games.

Educating the public about mental illness is important, but a problem inherent in accurately portraying depression is that, well, it isn't fun to be depressed. Indygo skillfully builds a gloomy atmosphere: The voice acting, music, black and white art style, and narrative all work together to convey the disconnection and emptiness a person suffering from depression can feel. You may come away with a better understanding of depression by playing, but if you're looking for entertainment along with your education, you will be disappointed. I was hoping the puzzles would be the entertaining part of Indygo, but they're not. If puzzles could have depression, they would be like the ones in Indygo: uninspired, empty, tired.
