Dysthymia: A story about mental disorder - is a game illustrating the experience and the struggle of someone with chronic depressive moods, negative, critical, and self-depriving thought patterns.  

The story is told throughout four levels, each portraying different stages of the path to overcome the illness. Level 1 shows the mental state of mind developed through years of not dealing with the issue; Level 2 presents the hardest step, which is opening up; Level 3 elaborates what dysthymia is; Level 4  describes the battle of going toe-to-toe with inner demons.

Demanding skills such as precision, rapid reading, and coordination, Dysthymia is intended to be frustrating in order to paint the picture and help characterise the difficulty of coping with the disorder. Main goal of this game is to inspire, educate, and spread awareness about dysthymia, and hopefully contribute to someone's triumph over this or similar disorders. 

For best gaming experience, Google Chrome is recommended.
