How does nobody how depressing this is?! It's a good game and the art is amazing put it shows how in the end we all die and there was no meaning. Its a horrible message. A few years ago my son killed himself because of an existensial crisis, and I wouldnt want that to happen to anybody else, this game's message is certainly enough to send someone down the rabbit hole. Hopefully nobody takes it as seriously as I did.

I'm not sure how you see that, nothing in this game seems to say that life is meaningless, unless you feel that way because you don't get to keep everything you want but that's just life, isn't it. Animals never think about this stuff, they just live.
I'm sorry if an existential crisis really was what killed your son, but not everyone will find a lack of bigger meaning in life a reason to end it.
Hope you won't find what I said rude.
I'm sorry about your son, but I doubt a game would cause people to do the same. My belief is, death is inevitable, but what matters is what you do during your life. That's what this game is about, what you do during your life. It's not about the end, it's about the journey to the end. The fact that you say the meaning is 'in the end we all die and there was no meaning' is false. Do you lose everything before the end of the game? No, you don't. You only lose some things. Please, change your view of the world to something brighter. Even if you miss your son, it doesn't mean you can use it as an excuse to not live life to the fullest. I'm sure he'd want you to live a great life.
