As the title says I would gladly know the saddest and most depressing games you have played as I am in search of such games right now and clearly need some recommendations, because I just can't think of anything decent.

The thing is, lately, whenever I come home from work and see the abnormally huge amounts I have to study for my exams, I just want to sit in a corner, hug myself and silently weep. So I thought to myself "Hey, why not make better use of that time sitting in a dark corner and move on to my desk and play some sad/depressing games".
I was thinking on what to play, couldn't think of anything decent, so now I'm here, hoping you guys will understand and help me procrastinate further.

All I want is for some game to leave an impact on me. I really need that right now, so please help?

that game is not sad. it teaches you about the truth. i was following the story as it happened and almost everything in the game i agree with.

-edit: well it is sad what happened and sad people don't know the truth.

Eh,I played a bit at a friends place, didn't like it. Just not my cup of tea somehow. Especially mad at The Chinese Room for what they did to Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (even though the music was awesome)

Most recently remember Spec Ops - The Line

It didn't make me sad - just slightly depressed and more so disgusted or somehow filthy and tainted.

And "that" final (you know, when player take the last shot... dunno if Spec Ops is depressing or sad, but give you strongs feelings for sure)
