History TearJerker / YumeNikki

* The part on Mars, with the alien, the music is definitely melancholy and the creature appears to be crying. The whole scene just screams isolation.

* [[spoiler:Madotsuki's [[DrivenToSuicide suicide]]]] at the end of ''VideoGame/YumeNikki''.

* Arguably, a happy one as of ''Dream Diary''; [[spoiler:after so many years of Yume Nikki remaining unfinished, with the only ending being Madotsuki taking her own life, the full release ends with her finally exiting her room and seeing the sun.]]

** It's even sadder if you check out some of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfkwLoKkwY8 fan works]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfkwLoKkwY8 Equally depressing as the above, but in a different way.]]

* Pretty much anything about Masada. You find him in a spaceship, all alone. There's a table with ''two'' chairs by his piano. He was clearly lonely. And when the spaceship crashes, he sounds so sad. It doesn't help that one of the theories implied that he died of overdose.

** Then there's the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4Qwtz6Amf8&feature=related music in the credits...]]. Oh, and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqufxj4-yu8&feature=related orchestral remix.]]
** The [[ParentalAbandonment absence of Madotsuki's parents]] is bad enough, then you get to the [[EpilepticTrees fan theories]] that involve Madotsuki's parents (if she had any). One theory about the flute effect is that it's derived from a childhood experience in which Madotsuki was taken to the doctor to get a shot and, due to her fear of needles, her mom would play the flute to calm her down. This theory + [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwjOI6riH5s the music in the room where you get the flute effect]] = this 21-year-old troper having to pick himself back up.
* If we're delving into theories here, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfdEUdmgxR0 this video has a doozy of one.]] [[spoiler:Essentially, Madotsuki's dreams have a very vivid basis in her reality. She's forced to leave behind her parents and watch as the landscape, her friends, and eventually herself succumb to an alien virus that renders everything as an {{Eldritch Abomination}}. Very, very sad all around...]]
