Winter in June
Winter in June by Katie Moses
A game about depression. This game takes a close look at a personal experience, and serves as a commentary on for-profit mental health spaces. It was created as a method of processing a traumatic event in my personal life. Please take note of the trigger warning just after the title page. This game might be challenging to sit through, but I truly appreciate you taking the time.
Multiple playthroughs recommended.

i'd just like to say, your games are a huge inspiration to me. they're comfort games to me, and i really do hope you're alright. thanks for making these, and have a lovely day <3
thank you so much! I am doing a lot better, making these games help me process a lot of emotions. I'm really glad they mean sometime to you, and thank you for taking the time to leave this comment <3 :)
I just finished playing this and I just wanna say thank you for making this, I imagine this was hard to make but I'm glad you did. This was incredibly hard to play (I admit I did cry a few times), a few years back I went through a very similar experience (for me it was 10 days) and, well, I'm still healing from it today. I have yet to see anyone else make a game about this particular subject but I'm (for lack of a better word) happy to see one made now. Thank you for taking the time to make this and share such a very personal experience. A very important game and I hope others see it and play it.
Thank you so much. I'm glad this had such an impact on you, and I hope you're doing better now. Thank you for playing :)
