Dark souls

Dark souls literally saved my life when i was at my lowest point ever. i was just so depressed and melancholic about the state of the world back when i was 14 and it was dark souls that turned it all around. dark souls literally saved my life chat.

>>736343669
if you dislike a game because you dislike a character for no reason but she is gay, that's an idpol hangup by definition. you demonstrably have weird hangups/phobias about queers you need sorting out- and it makes you miserable in a way you can't connect.

Adding to my previous post.
if you truly want to be depressed, don't play a video game (though My Little Puppy IS very bittersweet to an extent depressing especially if you own a dog or used to own a dog). Read Stoner by John Williams. Compare Stoner's life to your own and look for similarities. You will feel undoubtedly melancholic. Also, the book itself is incredibly bleak to start with.
Also for another sad book, read anything by Osamu Dazai. No Longer Human is overrated but it's a good starting point for Dazai's works.

Sincerely,
a /lit/izen.

no not really I don't have a fear of gay people and women i've met that are exclusively lesbian aren't attractive. They're the least appealing type of person I want to play in a video game due to how both unattractive, uninteresting and unrealistic they are all to fill the role of what a male character should be. Im sorry you're projecting that you couldn't fuck that girl in your group that's bi

No problem, anon. While I wouldn't say it's good to be depressed, sometimes we need a bit of depression to see when we're truly happy. Bob Ross said something akin to that, too.
Have a good life, and don't an hero fren.

For depressing books I like Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Noonan for how mundane and relatable it is.

>>736344009
What on earth are you on about. Ellie is hot, not that you should refuse to play a game just because you don't want to fuck the protag. Else you wouldn't play TF2 for example. Unless...?!

Frustration with society but no understanding as to why it is the way it is leads to depression. Read Marx.

Cry of Fear. It is a free horror game on steam. It is basically a first person Silent Hill it is great.
It has a great soundtrack too.

Alundra. Apparently English translation adds retarded jokes etc., so it may not work, but the original is pretty dark.
A lot of people die, sometimes because you were too late, sometimes because you couldn't help, sometimes because you tried to help.

Stoner is pretty good. Other depressing reads I can recommend:

A truly depressing game would be one that has a negative and destructive view of life, this game must have an absolute pessimistic, defeatist and hopeless ending; no alternative happy endings or some bullshit like that. Even "depressing" games have the occasional optional happy ending that tries to tell you: "hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all ;)" but you are not looking for that... maybe

I don't know any game that adheres to that perspective on life and sticks to it to the end. Sad games don't count, it has be truly hopeless if you really want the "depressing" feeling of it or maybe I'm just going too far.
