It was developed by Zoë Quinn using the Twine engine, with writing by David Lindsey and music by Isaac Schankler. It was first released for the web on February 14, 2013, and for Steam on August 11, 2014. The game tells the story of a man suffering from depression and his attempts to deal with his affliction. It was created to foster greater understanding about depression. ''Depression Quest'' can be played for free, and has a pay-what-you-want pricing model. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline receives part of the proceeds. ''Depression Quest'' was praised by critics for its portrayal of depression and its educational value. The game was noted for diverging from mainstream uses of video games as a medium. Popular reception was more mixed, and Quinn received threats and harassment from people who disapproved of the game. False allegations that the game had received a positive review from a journalist in a relationship with Quinn triggered the Gamergate controversy. == Gameplay ==
