What was the piece of media so emotionally overwhelming you just stopped it? (sh.itjust.works)

I don’t know if this counts, but I own multiple copies of Spiritfarer and haven’t played it yet, because my mother suddenly passed away shortly before I learned about the game, and just watching the trailer still breaks me up a bit.

edit: sigh correction, just thinking about the trailer breaks me up a bit

    It's... heart-wrenching.

    I haven't played it in over a year and just can't bring myself to fully finish it. I think I was right there, but I just.. can't.

    Just thinking about it makes me misty.

    I hope you're in a better place emotionally now. But maybe continue to put off playing, unless you feel you're ready to stare some potentially difficult things directly in the face.

    Thank you for the kind words. I could tell from the trailer and reviews that it’s a beautiful, glorious labor of love that I definitely need to play… someday. I’m not there yet, but I will have a generous supply of tissues available when it happens.
