Step 1: Uninstall the game

You might be a little unhappy with deleting a $9.99 game, unless you got it on sale for $2.49 like moi. But you wanted to feel better right?

Then you must listen to the guide, it's for your own safety! So uninstall it so you're never tempted to play it again!

Unless you're masochist, then do whatever you want. I mean why are you even using this guide?

Step 2: Curl up in a ball and think about your life choices

Find corner or a closet you feel comfy with, then simply curl up into a nice safe ball. You can cry if you want, I wont judge. Do whatever you feel in that corner, as long as you feel safe again.

Listen to music, draw, watch a Disney movie. Anything that calms you down will work.

Need someone to say they love you, ask.

There's plenty of things that can work, just do whatever works for you.

Step 3: Final and most important step

This step may be simple but is the most CRUCIAL one, failure to do this could throw the entire process out of wack and ruin EVERYTHING.

You ready?

NEVER EVER DRINK AND DRIVE!!!

Final part

Thanks for reading, I hope I could of helped you deal with the emotional trauma caused by a small but powerful game.

Stay safe, or don't, I'm not the boss of you.

The voices in the darkness always say they love me but ..wait so how do I deal with the natural psychotic homicidal reaction to watching a fucking disney movie, cause iam pretty sure that after that id want to rip the eyes out of everyone i ment believing them all to be giant blood thirsty extremist rats that want my intellectual property for their army of the undead!

I just finished the game. It was good for Aition's subconscious to deal with the deceptions of his own making so he could then, finally, accept the truth in a healthy way. He's going to jail, but he is better off a man of some dignity and much more accountability.

Try the Dark Fall Series from Darkling Room, you'll never feel that way again

The only thing I'm feeling is disappointment with how bad the last part was. Reducing a story from an interesting sci-fi plotline into... "oh, he was in a car crash."

That's not even a story, that happens all the time. Next they should write a story about going to the grocery store and accidentally buying the wrong product.

@Vompa The original Time Crisis on PS1.

Felt bummed that I finally beat the game, after grinding it and trying over and over again as a kid. Because I couldn't experience it with fresh eyes, as I was so lost in the moment and enjoying myself from failing! I now no longer have a CRT, I gotta get one to relive that memory again. Good times.

Time to share experiences!
What game gave you a disappointing and empty feeling in the end?

*WARNING!!! Spoilers may follow*

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
It made me feel sad and bitter at the Eidos-Montréal who left Jensen's story unfulfilled, also nothing I did changed anything and false news covered up all my hard work. I still feel sad about the budget cuts that butchered the game.
