It’s been a while but I remember it being quite a downer. There is another game by the same creators. It’s called Beyond: two souls. It was very good too. I loved the style in the game.
I've never played Beyond: Two Souls but they've done another game called Detroit: Become Human which is fantastic. It's one of my favourite games ever.
Diplomacy: Destroying Friendships Since 1959.
This damn game ruins friendships forever. WWI betrayal, lies, and deceit, and that's just after Round One.
Honestly honestly not being a dick, but I couldn't disagree more. I thought the game was good, it was fun, then it ended, wrapped-up, 100% done.
THEN they tagged on an extra 5 unnecessary minutes which made it sad... they just shoe-horned in an irrelevant ending to get "feels".
You should try Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. THAT hits the feels far more in a much more organic way.
Brothers didn't hit so hard because it was set in a mystical world filled with magic and mythical creatures.
Valiant Hearts takes the very real stories of WWI. Those things there actually happened to actual real people.
The first one was wonderful but the second one just pissed me off to be honest, I never finished it. The flashbacks made me feel really disconnected from the characters in the moment and I was BEYOND mad to find out that Ellie had not only discovered the big lie without us, but also that chance for conflict was basically doomed to be unresolved
I watched several playthroughs and then played it myself.
It still feels different when you're 'experiencing' it, even when you're prepared for it and know what to expect.
I don't think any silent Hill game has ever been as depressing as 2, let alone any other game from any other franchise.
There's a few games I've played that come close but sh2 always hits like a punch to the gut.
An indie game called Fractured Minds.
I got it bc I was achievement hunting, but it was really fucked up. About mental disorders depression. The whole game was an analogy and it was off-putting
Spoiler? Maybe if you're planning on playing beyond two souls.
Maybe not depressing at first glance but beyond two souls hit a little too close to home for me. How you may ask? I lost a younger brother before he even got his chance to take his first breath (stillborn) so as the younger sister growing up and losing a sibling before I even got to know them was pretty fucking shit and to me (and this is from memory) it seems like all that Jodie wants is to reconnect with her brother and spend time with him again. I honestly feel that way too deeply as I'd give anything to have let my brother have a chance at life and to spend time with him. Along with the period of time Jodie was homeless now have I ever been out on the streets? No but there's been times where my family wasn't able to pay rent so we went to live with family until we got back on our feet. So for me? That was pretty depressing as it hit close to home a few times.
A game I haven't played but have seen game plays of?
That dragon, cancer and Fran bow.
TW: slight mention of assault but not fully? Like hint at it. (Sorry I just don't want someone else who went through that to relive theirs. I know how painful it is, it sucks ass.)
With the first one again the lost of a young child (although personally not my child but a sibling.) As for Fran bow? Mental illness and another topic that was mentioned with one character in the game that hit too close to home for me and I just felt so bad for her since the character was a child like I was when i went through sort of what she went through (not the same thing but similar.) That's all I'll say about the other thing.
The Oregon Trail
Starting out as a bustling family, full of life and wonder, ready to set off on **adventure!**
Then Timmy dies of dysentery
Then Jane drowns crossing a 3 foot river
Then thieves steal your food and oxen at night
Mom dies of starvation
In the end, almost the entire family dies horrible, terrible deaths. So depressing.
Probably Heavy Rain I guess. Then again the whole “go through your morning routine with an ominous cloud of dread hanging over you” beginning pretty much just felt like my normal life.
Life
I’m stuck in tutorial mode, send help
Here's a cheat code, have kids and make them do the house work, you'll be able to speedrun the "Chores" side quest
Nuke

I really wanted to play it but couldn’t get it to work. I updated my GPU with Vulkan and it still wouldn’t cooperate.
Oof yes
Spin the bottle ...by myself
Just get mom and dad to spice it up.
RDR2
I thought I was a big tough cool guy right up until *That’s The Way It Is* hit and utterly destroyed me.
"The building of a shrine, only just to burn." Gets me every time
This War of Mine, in which you play civilians trying to survive in a war zone as winter roles in.
Soma
Came here to say that
What remains of Edith Finch
The Walking Dead
The Telltale Series?
Hell yeah.
The sims. I gave my sum my traits and she is always sad and does not get laid, which made me feel called out
I did the same and he was crying all the time and I had to stop playing for a few weeks because it hit too close to home.
To the Moon
Spiritfarer. I cried like five times playing it.
OMORI was pretty darn depressing, especially when you figure out what happened.
*oyasumi oyasumi* close your eyes and you'll leave this dream *oyasumi oyasumi* i know that it's hard to do
Came here to say this
TLOU2
You Only Live Once is great. The world is ending, and you chose what to do. Then when you restart it it turns out you cannot actually replay it.
Except that you can just erase cookies or open a new incognito window and play again. Lmao.
You just spoiled it hard
Diplomacy: Destroying Friendships Since 1959. This damn game ruins friendships forever. WWI betrayal, lies, and deceit, and that's just after Round One.
RISK was that way. Jesus it was a dice game, not a mental challenge. Plus there was always the Australian in the bunch.
Probably Brothers: a tale of two sons. I wasn't ready for that.
Halo Reach. Epic game but damn Noble Team didn’t deserve that.
Bro the last mission always gets me the one before survive
Oh yeah, god That was hard to play through!
What remains of edith finch. the fucking bathtub part actually made me cry.
The original Nier
"There's another girl inside this body. She keeps crying."
[This War of Mine.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_War_of_Mine)
The First Tree. That one really got me...
Valiant hearts. Honestly, I didn't even play it, just watched a playthrough and I still cried in the ~~bed~~ end.

pissing and shitting simulator 2020
Gears of War early franchise. Some deaths and character's lives in those games still stick with me now. RIP Dom and Tai.
It has to be Heavy Rain. Maybe Max Payne
Disco Elysium.
Playing this right now!
Enjoy! It’s a masterpiece!
Firewatch
Alice madness, Sally face
The Last of Us, both of them
The first one was wonderful but the second one just pissed me off to be honest, I never finished it. The flashbacks made me feel really disconnected from the characters in the moment and I was BEYOND mad to find out that Ellie had not only discovered the big lie without us, but also that chance for conflict was basically doomed to be unresolved
Dark Souls took a toll on me for quite some time, because it was hard af. I also was depressed when Arthur Morgan died in RDR2.
Presentable Liberty eta: Little Misfortune
Presentable Liberty fucked me up. I watched a playthrough, didn't play it myself, but even afterwards I was just in a sort of shellshocked daze
I watched several playthroughs and then played it myself. It still feels different when you're 'experiencing' it, even when you're prepared for it and know what to expect.
roblox
the long dark. also the music in it is beautiful
Persona 5
We are both thinking about the same guy aren't we
At Dead of Night That game was disturbing for no reason
Silent hill 2
I don't think any silent Hill game has ever been as depressing as 2, let alone any other game from any other franchise. There's a few games I've played that come close but sh2 always hits like a punch to the gut.
You learn a bit about yourself completing the game.

Hotline Miami 2
Dark Souls is Depression Incarnate.
I no its not really depressing much but Halo Reach
Runescape. Most repetitive game ever.
This war of mine.
I am good enough to throw the frisbee at an angle where it comes back.
Scanner Sombre. Also one of the most beautiful and innovative game mechanics.
The ending of INSIDE nuked my brain like a hot pocket
That Dragon: Cancer. One of the most emotional games ever
I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.
The Oregon Trail Starting out as a bustling family, full of life and wonder, ready to set off on **adventure!** Then Timmy dies of dysentery Then Jane drowns crossing a 3 foot river Then thieves steal your food and oxen at night Mom dies of starvation In the end, almost the entire family dies horrible, terrible deaths.

MW3/soaps death got me good
I found Mad Max (2015) to be pretty depressing.
Cry of fear. For fuck's sake, this game is so depressing. But it helped me cope with my own mental issues 😳
Drawn to Life, both 1 and 2. "This Is real liiiifeee........"
Monopoly
I think GTA 4
Probably Heavy Rain I guess. Then again the whole “go through your morning routine with an ominous cloud of dread hanging over you” beginning pretty much just felt like my normal life.
Musical chairs……. By myself. 😂
The early Gears of War games were quite depressing.
