Have you ever finished a game and then suddenly felt just… empty? Alone? Depressed? Unsure of what to do next or how to move on with your life? If so, I have too, and so have several people around the world. Humans are wildly empathetic creatures and the relationships we build with in-gamer characters are a lot more real than you think. Let’s talk about Parasocial relationships.

The saddest part is even if replaying the game or rewatching that anime or rereading that book is fun you never do get to experience those things for the first time again with those characters its more like looking at a photobook of memories with them instead of actually experiencing life with them. It's lonely like they've moved on to the future without you.

My mom watched me beat final fantasy 9 as tears silently rolled down my face and asked why I was sad. I couldn’t explain that I spent months with a squad of characters who faced war, heartbreak, depression, existential dread, loss, all moving on from this grand adventure to pick up the pieces of what was left of the world. I read the final words of a child who’d spent months shaking in fear of him dropping dead, peacefully accepting that his friends would live on without him. I watched every character move on from the events of the game and realized I had to do so myself

Right now I am pretty sad but it will get better.

I cried, got depressed and empty at the ends of Red Dead, Witcher 3 and basically all Zelda games. I dunno, the adventures, experiences and relationships that the characters undergo in those games really struck a cord with me - especially Zelda, because it is a franchise that I’ve deeply adored ever since I was a kid. I know I’m probably going to be depressed for ages after I finish BOTW2. I’ll make sure to enjoy every moment I have playing it when it eventually comes out.

I think what makes Red dead redemption(2) and Witcher 3 depressing after finishing it, is the point where the NPC´s we got through an epic adventure full of emotions, come to their routine where they repeating themselfs when we speak with them. It feels like their lifes got sucked out of them.

The saddest part for me is when a game gives you memories of where you were on a certain day, what you were doing, and how you felt while playing that game that you only start to remember after finishing the game and watching the end credits. I remember on the 4th of July this year I woke up, had a cup of coffee, got every ace rank medal in Neon White mission 6, and then went to an amazingly fun party. When you sit on the title screen that one last time before closing and uninstalling the game you realize those moments will only exist in your memory.

Holy SH*T i just experienced this phenomenon with P5R, and the whole game felt as if all the characters were almost people. And after the credits rolled I felt the same feeling as when a “surprise death” of a character in a piece of media happened. I thought it would continue after the main story, is done and I was definitely planning on playing it on for a hundred for hours; when I went to play P4G afterward it felt like I left behind persona 5. When I put on new game plus, seeing sojiro as “manager” felt empty as you described it. All those things I did in the first playthrough is gone. This game was a memory I will never forget, and the very unique experience of feeling as I was apart of this story that unfolded before me.

So, my first time playing Persona 5 was during a series of Twitch streams, meaning I got to get all my reactions to the game live, I went through the game, giving all the characters a voice, experiencing as much of the game as I could with my audience, who would influence certain decisions I made during my playthrough. Due to life circumstances, the series was on and off hiatus a couple of times, so it essentially took me about a year and a half to play through. I get this feeling of emptiness a lot, especially the more time I sink into something. But I sobbed when I finished Persona 5. Not because I thought the ending was beautiful or anything, but because it was the end of an adventure not just with the characters I had grown to love and care for, but it was like the end of an era for my audience as well, for new regulars that joined during the course of the playthrough, and people that had been there for years. It's powerful stuff, video games.

Here a year later to write a love letter to The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. I cried all through the credits and must have stood motionlessly in front of my screen for about two hours after. Such vivid characters and a beautiful storyline, leaving you with a complete sense of longing after it was done. The game being a duology wasn't making things any easier either, seeing as we spent so long with these characters, felt their grief, watched them come and go. But what was most profound, wasn't about how I felt: it was looking back at the beginning of their journey to realise how much they've changed. As if you're watching something or somebody real grow to become a different person... Edit: spelling, gross ;-;

I adore Ryuunosuke and everyone's journey, and am still not ready to let go. From the banging music, the surprised laughters from the cast's antics, all the way to the tensions and the plot twists, I'm still putting things on pause, afraid of letting go of that piece of happiness. This video helped me come to terms with it though. I'll surely make my way to finishing the last cutscene.

I think the first time I actively cried after finishing the game was when I got to the end credits of Nier:Automata. The whole experience of all the shit that the characters had gone through along with the music and the big old end credits trick made me cry. I'm not sure if it was out of sadness, happiness, or just having too many emotions but damn. Sometimes I wish I could forget my favorite works of fiction so I could experience them for the first time all over again.

@@arishkhan5918 I wouldn't play strikers if you haven't played 5. It's a direct sequel and they pretty much pick up where they left off without explaining much of anything. Its main systems are only inspired by persona, and is very much its own thing. You might have fun with the gameplay but the story would probably lose 90% of its impact. I would play P5 Royal first, as it's the definitive and best version of the original. As for what the game is like, it's essentially half an SMT game, where dungeons are based on the psychology of characters, and half a daily life sim where you go to school and junk. The story follows a very long, almost TV show-esque structure with multiple isolated arcs, with the overall stories being very front and end-loaded. The game works on a calendar system, where each action takes up a segment of the day, and dungeon completions have deadlines. The main feature of this is hanging out with friends, each of which has their own side-story. This system is the key to persona, because hanging out with friends makes you stronger in dungeons and gives you unique abilities. For example, playing shogi with the weird girl at church allows you to switch party members mid battle. Some people require certain social stats to hang out with, which are built by doing various everyday tasks. So the challenge is planning out and balancing when you improve yourself, hang out with friends, or go into a dungeon, because each of them takes time. You have from April to ~Christmas to do all this, so yeah these games take a LOOOONG time and very easily take over your life. The characters are great, the stories are surprisingly mature, the battles are fun, the music is god-tier, its style is unmatched, but it's really about the experience as a whole that people get so addicted to, and is exactly the kind of setup that prompts post-game-depression since the endings are always definitive with no content after the credits.

Honestly, I think nothing does this quite like RPGs, and from what I can tell, the comments agree. Persona, NieR, Omori, Fire Emblem, Mass Effect, etc., games that you spend a large amount of time interacting with other characters in a fictional world, those are the games that hit the hardest when you finally finish them and realize you'll never be able to play them again for the first time. It feels like an entire chapter of your life is over. That's why RPGs will always be my favorite genre.

One of the saddest feelings for me is when you're working towards the sweet platinum trophy playing the game for weeks or even months, watching guides on KZfaq and then after getting all trophies, grinding everything to 100% you accomplish everything the game has to offer. You are happy and glad but then immediately after all that excitement comes the sad thing. You wanna close the game, you sit at the title screen that greeted you everytime you started the game over the last couple of weeks/months, you listen to the music one last time and then you close the game one last time. It's a goodbye, ok maybe not forever but who knows when you're gonna play the game again? But for this moment you move on.

There's a slightly different weird experience when you leave a game just barely unfinished. I have a Stardew Valley save at 99.9% perfection. It has one incomplete special order that, for peak efficiency, I would just sleep cheese until it spawns and then do it. I could finish it, but realistically it's the end for me, as I'm not really into the aesthetics stuff, so there's not really any more fun gameplay to be had, at least not on that save. What's different is that because I basically put that goalpost down, and didn't do it long in advance, there wasn't even really the climax from definitely being done. I just kinda wasn't interested in doing the sleep cheese or finding stuff to do while I waited, so I just...stopped. It led to the same low without the same high.

FF15 is an emotional masterpiece. Wrapping up the credits with the sun rising for the first time in 10 years, over the camping gear the guys didn’t bother to bring with them because (as we find out mid-credits) they knew they wouldn’t be needing it anymore… the camaraderie and banter throughout the game so it really feels like a high-stakes road trip with your buddies… it’s one of those games I play through and immediately want to play again. Also excellent: KH2. “We’re back” “you’re home.” CREDITS ROLL AS SANCTUARY PLAYS Also excellent: “I’m sorry I couldn’t show you Zanarkand” as the heavily orchestrated version of the Zanarkand piano theme plays.

I guess this is the main reason why I gravitated towards gacha games like Fgo and Genshin around 2 years ago, even when a character’s story is finished that doesn’t mean you won’t see them again,I think that the feeling of maybe well meet again somewhere is stronger in these games by nature like when a rate up for a certain character there is the chance that they’ll appear again in an event story for example. Not only that but the player will probably play the game in a daily manner even if it’s just to log in for rewards and they see their favorite character on the screen the minute they open the game for that extra punch.

Like a lot of people here who have played many video games, I have experienced this way too many times. So many in fact that I would purposely schedule another game to play after to force past the depressed feeling of post game depression. Not healthy I know but I've stopped doing that now because of a new outlook on life. I dont know if this is a quote from some person or not so correct me if someone influential or otherwise has said this before but "life is about the journey not the destination. The destination is in a wooden box underground so enjoy the journey." This quote rings in my head whenever I am down and while itself doesn't fix the immediate problem, it helps to put me in a better headspace to work through whatever is affecting me in that point in my life. So whenever I'm sad or depressed from completing a game, book, movie or series, I'll reflect back on what it gave to me and what I can take forward on my journey in this world. For those who have taken the time to read this, the game most notably that had given me this post game depression conditon was Shadow of the Colossus on the PS3 Hd version specifically. I wanted to play the game desperately for so many years when i had a PS2 but when I finally got it and breezed through the game I felt empty. I now play it multiple times a year as I'm grateful for having the memories and experiences the game gave me.

I’m pretty sure this is exactly why I have issues finishing games. I know the empty feeling is coming and I want to shield myself from it. I’ve also noticed that the more immersive the games are, the harder it hits. Incredibly obvious, I know. But in games like Legend of Zelda where there’s a silent protagonist, I’m able to project into that character and place myself in the story. I’m not trying to select dialogue that fits my personality, which may be totally different from the character I’m controlling. I AM that character. For the time I spend playing the game, I’m in a different world entirely and I dread being ripped out of it.

I went through a bad breakup when I was 22, and it mentally and physically crushed me for a while. I started binging romcom anime (tell tale sign of a broken heart, I know) and fell into the anime Toradora. Even though I kept my composure through the many turbulent moments leading up to the end, I broke down sobbing several times in the final few episodes. Not only was the ending nearly perfect, but it reflected many things I was struggling with in my post-relationship life, and subtly feeding me advice on how to deal with and recover from my situation. And if you have watched it, and you remember the end, Taiga’s decision was almost exactly what happened to me, minus the happy ending. I was left with such a feeling of longing, not for my ex, but for the characters that I had to leave, the fact that I could no longer watch the relationship I idolized grow and transform, and I could no longer wallow in my own agony while watching someone else succeed where I failed. It hurt to let go, but it acted as closure for me where I had none. Honestly, it had the perfect ending. The characters had room to grow and the relationship had room to develop, and even though they were fictional highschoolers, it is one of the most honest, (mostly) healthy depictions of love I have ever seen. When it did end, and I knew that post-anime depression wasn’t going to leave (since it was mixed with actual depression), I did exactly what the characters did, and bettered myself. I lost weight, ate healthier, searched for a job, treated my brother’s nicer and tried to be a better person overall without giving up what makes me who I am. Your Name had a similar effect on me. I think I might be more susceptible to this type of psychological phenomenon than most, as I have many more examples of post-game depression, but I think those moments have ultimately inspired me to improve my life, and I am happy to have experienced them while I could.

My game was so unexpected even to myself, it was hotline Miami 2. I got so much more attached to the characters than I expected, and hearing the words “leaving this world isn’t as scary as it sounds” has permanently changed my perception of death.

There is this game, called OneShot. It's one of those games that want you to engage with these kinds of parasocial relationship. Directly talking to the player, and any input and decision you make for that character be acknowledged by said character that it was YOU THE PLAYER that made the decision. What happened after the game ended and I got a happy ending? I cannot bring myself to play the game again. I can reset it, but that would also rob the character of the happiness that they fought hard for.

I also had an euphoria after finishing Celeste, akin to the feeling "be glad that it happened". I got emotionally attached to the game itself and when I beat the mountain something did click in me. The whole immense challenge I put myself through.

Never played ME until just recently. Did the Legendary Edition. Approached ME1 like any game until somewhere more then half way through, I had to google something...forget what but that is when I discovered that actions and dialogue choices in each game (ME1, 2 and 3) had an impact not only on the next game in the trilogy but on the ME3 ending. Long story short...It was a paragon playthrough, I kept everyone alive til the end...except Kelly because of one small seemingly insignificant dialogue response, and Verner 'cuz I missed an encounter somewhere. I worked my butt off getting all the War Assets I could (8095), etc. Didn't get the important paragon dialogue option with T.I.M. during Priority: Earth but did get the Renegade interrupt. I was stunned and felt the anger/sadness/despair begin to well up!!! Thought I had ruined the optimal ending with the final Destroy option. (I rationalized that EDI and the Geth could be recreated). Well, I got the optimal best ending and I know when and why I didn't get that last Paragon dialogue input with T.I.M. My first mission, Priority: Mars in ME1. Shepard survived, all squad mates (M1,2 and 3) survived, except Mordin, ofc and Liara did not put Shepard's plaque on the wall!!! So they are out there, somewhere in the Mass Effect universe doing their own thing until, one day, when I can rejoin their adventures!

it happened to me when I finished playing persona 3. when I was at the last scene and mc was closing his I was already screaming not to go to sleep because it feels like he wont wake up again and then i realised that it's the end of the game and that I won't be able to have more fun with the cast made me so sad i cried for days 😭 you kmow it was just such a journey from cultivating the relationships between the squad and the social links them hearing them cheer for you at the last battle and then after all that .. its just emptiness i literally said "what do I do now that I finished persona 3?" it was definitely an experience i'll never forget 😭

For me, that series is the Mass Effect Trilogy. I’ve played through it straight through at least 15 times. That’s over 150+ hrs for me, and every time I get to the Citadel DLC I cry my eyes out when I finish it. I’m never able to say goodbye to my squad mates knowing full well it all ends in less than an hr. After I finally finish the ending of the trilogy I have to tell myself “Don’t be sad it’s over, be happy that you’ll always have the memories”. I think the thrill of enjoying masterpieces in gaming is getting attached and losing yourself in it if only just a moment. Then when it’s over you relive the memories of game as if the mc was you

I haven't played ME series for about 8?-ish years. Did a replay this past week with Legendary Edition. Got to do the Citadel DLC for the first time too...wow. It was more than fan-service. Solid experience with the crew, and was sad to finish the game again. Such a high-stakes narrative/outcome, I really leaned into the character this time. Now I'm going through Mass Depressed.

Pokemon black was a game which made me that much emotional at the edge of crying when I was surrounded by seven sages of team plasma. My pokemon needed healing. Then a music plays and all the gym leaders come in and take them for me. It almost made me cry. After the game ended. I missed my favorite game.

I know that feeling with Persona 5, I had just come out of a long, dark time in my life and while I was happy, I was lost and didn't really know where to go from there. Had P5 for a couple years at this point and just never touched it, felt like the right time and I not only gained such a connection and love for the characters, but also regained that desire to be social again and gain some new skills after basically just shutting myself indoors for some undetermined amount of years. I was so sad and didn't want to say goodbye (and I fucking didn't, Royal came out a couple weeks later and I put over 700 hours into it xD), but it helped me out mentally, I started being more active with friends and I even met some new people through the Persona fandom, who then recommended me new things to read and music to listen I'd not have thought to ever try before, it really did just feel like a fresh start. Cannot overstate how much this game means to me and I still get the urge to replay it to this day, but I have a very large backlog of games I need to play including older Persona games so I can do this shit all over again xD That was a long ass way of saying "same bro" but I will never forget the impact this game had on me

Whenever you play a game you are so attached with the main character or whatever happens with him like so you sometimes scold him during situations of fights or decisions but in the end both of you achieve your goal (goals like reaching the top peak on god of war, Arthur's aim to protect his group, ethan's goal to protect his daughter in re8). You also become a part of the journey (Arthur's journey throughout the game, Sebastian's struggle and sacrifices to reach his daughter, ghost kf tsushima) and much more so when the game is completed it feels like a farewell, an end of a journey of an arc we will never be able to experience the first time.
