I am so sick of games with stories that play with my emotions for no reason. especially when the game didn’t need a story in the first place

I was caught off-guard again today with a game that seemed completely innocent, except for a small number of dialog boxes telling a pretty cutesy story. and then it got darker, and darker, and the ending didn’t resolve anything. so now I’m hurt and bitter and sad because of some stupid game that I should never have trusted in the first place

at this point I’m thinking of just avoiding any game if it prominently has dialog boxes or cutscenes. sick of this shit
