A viral depression has snuffed out humanity, leaving few behind to pick up the pieces.Join Buddy, an anxious young man, as he guides you through a land bathed in sadness and decay while searching for his estranged parents. Armed with nothing but a few cans of beans and an uncouth sense of humor, he braves the encroaching wild and staves off the constant fear of a sickness that had pushed society to its edge.Alone and confused, Buddy is elated to cross paths with a tenacious Biologist named Lauren, quickly joining her in the liberation of abandoned animals and discovering firsthand just how thin the line between life and death can be. Together they weather the daily struggles of failed civilization and forge a bond far stronger than would have been afforded to them in the world they used to know. Without doctrine, culture and conditioning, the pair are forced to create a new purpose, re-defining what it means for them to be human.'The Great Depression' is an existential romp through a world ravaged by mental illness, offering a lighter perspective on a timeless taboo and concluding that, when all is gone, love remains.
