==The Static Speaks My Name/Depression==
Upon seeing many other YouTubers play the game, The Static Speaks My Name, and either misinterpret, or just not understand, Emily felt that she should play the game and explain the meaning behind it since she has dealt with depression in the past, and would understand it better than someone who has not suffered from depression.
At the start of the game you find yourself laying in bed when the game instructs you too get out of bed and go to the bathroom. Seems like a remedial task, but as Emily explains that someone with depression finds even going to the bathroom a difficult thing to do.
Once out of bed, you can see that there is a fish tank beside the bed with your pet shrimp inside. On the other wall, there is a photograph of the shrimp with the words "My Babies". This is significant because later in the game when you look in your fridge and see you don't have any food, you are forced to eat your pet shrimps. She explains saying that someone with depression doesn't feel as attached to what they once loved.
You also see in the housethat all the windows and doors have been boarded up. She explains this as a metaphor of someone who has cut him/her-self off from their family and friends because he/she thinks that if you let them get close, they wouldn't understand your situation.
Next in the game you do more tasks like; washing the dishes and chatting online. Then the game takes a dark turn when you are tasked to "decide what to do with the person in the cage". Others found this really weird, as it seems like you have kidnapped the man, but as Emily explains, it's a metaphor of your old self before you had depression. You later have to decide weather to let the person free, or kill him. If you choose to kill him, like Emily did, you are instructed to go to the room you awoke in and go into the closet. In the closet you find a chair in the middle of the room and a noose hanging above. You then have to hang yourself. This was difficult for Emily to do even in a game. She then took her headphones off because she didn't want to hear the sound of your neck breaking.
During the video, Emily confesses to have suffered from depression, but never had suicidal thoughts.
After the end of the game, she spents the rest of the video offering words of encouragement to people struggling with depression.
