Polish publisher Fat Dog Games has released a gameplay trailer for Pigmentum Game Studio’s Indygo, a game about depression, to mark World Mental Health Day.

Indygo is a narrative game with adventure and point-and-click elements. It takes place in the workshop of an artist suffering from depression. The game’s purpose is to provide insight into the nature of the disorder.

Players will explore the painter’s inner world and his relationship with his girlfriend Anna. Together, they search for answers. The game has multiple endings based on decisions made by the player during gameplay.

Krystian Mucha, Pigmentum Game Studio: All too often depression is not taken seriously or, on the other hand, becomes a stigma. We strive to give the players a deeper insight into the thoughts and actions of those, who are suffering from this mood disorder, which is why we consulted our game with mental health specialists and people who have gone through depression.

Dariusz Skrzypkowski, CEO, Fat Dog Games: The project is unique, not only due to its social engagement, but also thanks to the handmade graphics designed by Fine Arts Academy students and an original soundtrack, which adds a deep, overwhelming feel to the game.

Indygo is being developed for Windows and will launch October 24th on Steam.

I've been with JA in one capacity or other since 2003. I'm currently website administrator. I'm also a digital artist (my avatar is one of my creations). I write reviews and articles, create graphics and basically help tend the site. It's work I enjoy very much. I love playing games of all kinds, but adventure and RPGs are my favorites (particularly scary/dark/unsettling ones). At the top of my list are The Cat Lady, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Still Life (first one only), Scratches and Culpa Innata. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool recluse and prefer the company of animals, hardware and ghosts to human beings (no offense). And no bio would be complete without my saying that I do NOT care for phones of ANY sort. Further, I think Dell computers are garbage and that Microsoft has become megalomaniacal.
