Depression/Anxiety/Suicide Attempts
I'm just putting this out there..

So uh.. I first saw PewDiePie play CoF.. ( And I was just one of those people.. ) I got into the game, pretty much obsessed.. So I didn't realize that this game would.. Do things to you. It gave me depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. I think this game could be the death of me, literally. I had to spend a week in a mental hospital, because of hallucinations, ( Already had them for a while now. ) attempted suicide, and depression. It was torture, and now it's been a few months..
Now, I'm playing it. And then I noticed that there was a psychological warning that I never saw. So, I'm pretty much thinking how dumb it was at how the YouTuber didn't mention the psychological stuff. And I'm just going to keep it to myself.

So uh... I guess a warning and consequences..?
I seriously don't want anybody going through what I went through. So be careful while watching/playing this game.

Also, it could 'put your family into misery...' or whatever the Hell that means..

It's true and it's bloody awful.
I had to take that Sertraline ( Zoloft ) medication and overdosed..
Alright, but be careful. You never know what'll push ya over the edge.

ah. well. Ive never heard of a game being able to do this. But if someone has suicidal tendencies, then playing a game like this is the most stupid thing you could do. Best idea is to stay calm and play something like hello kitty island adventure.

Well, I'm more used to the game since I watched the gameplay four times. ( Along with Afraid Of Monsters. ) And Hello Kitty Island Adventure..? I'm going to have some strange nightmares later on...

The_Gaming_Rebel_Show if you really have so much problems while playing this game you have to decide by yourself if you can go on playing or if you stop it and look out for another game. Cry of Fear is one of my favourite horror games and i know it has a lot of depressing scenes but its never the fault of a game if you want to commit suicide. Maybe there are other reasons why you tried to commit suicide

Insomnia will sometimes make my heart rate slow..
But I asked my therapist if I could play, he said that I'd have to wait until things.. Ease out? And besides.. I'm trying to fix CoF with the screen resolution or whatever. So no matter what, it'll be awhile until I play.

Anyway, thanks everyone.
It's going to be a stressful time for me, but I guess it's worth it.

no offense ment by this but it seems you may of had an underlying issue to begin with , if this game is triggering depression and suicidal thoughts i would just not play it at all if i was in your position , it's obviously triggered something , it sounds like you had a schizophreniform if you were hallucinating , someone in my family had a similar sounding episode due to dr who when they were very young and started hullucanating and they wanted to die to escape the fear caused by it

Tbh man i just would avoid playing it all together if it did that once , you might not want to but it would prob be best for your own mental health
