Games That Are Scared To Let Go

Stories have the unique ability to make you feel one way while simultaneously telling you that you *should* feel a completely different way. These games, uniquely, all do exactly that. They break your heart only to then tell you that you can’t stay and wallow in that sadness. They pull you down to rock bottom to teach you that the only way you can go now is up. These are games that… much like many of us, are afraid to let go.
