>>2305509>>2305658Depression is pretty much the opposite of motivation and not what you're talking about at all. Depression is when you'd rather die than leave your bed even just to eat, when just getting through every day feels like an insurmountable challenge for no apparent reason.
I was suicidally depressed and long story short I dropped out of highschool because of it in around december 2011. Katawa Shoujo and especially Hanako was the main catalyst in turning my life around, starting my road to recovery and looking forward to the future. Realizing I wasn't alone in how I felt (both in depression and anxiety) and that they were tangible problems was immense to me. I've since gotten into college and decided my calling in life is to help people like hanako, people who feel like I did back then.
If I hadn't played this shitty free cripple fetish porn game I would quite possibly be dead or still wishing I was as I trudged through life on autopilot. I have a pic of Hanako stuck near my bed to remind me of darker times and motivate me to try my best.
Sorry for the life story, just seemed relevant and kind of spilled out. It's crazy how big of an impact this fairly simple piece of fiction had on some people's lives.
