It's Not Necessarily That I Cried The Hardest - Tumblr Posts

which fictional death has affected you the most emotionally? like had you straight up crying your eyes out or similar responses

imma be completely real
the one that immediately comes to mind is Artemis in No Man's Sky
spoilers ahead
it's not necessarily that I cried the hardest
it's the way it was executed
you (the player) spend the whole story up to that point searching for Artemis
communicating with this person you think you should know
you grow to believe you are friends with Artemis
you even speak with their other friend who urges you to help them
you spend hours and hours trying to find them and save them
and when you finally find them... they're gone
but not just that
Artemis has been dead the whole fucking time
you sought and sought and tried your hardest and it was for nothing
you were only ever talking to an echo of who they once were
you realize as you stand literally at their grave that you befriended the ghost of Artemis
and now you just have to move on
this game makes you understand and accept loss like no other I have ever played
i fucking love this game
no man's sky
