None of them is a scary game because I know them too well
I wish I could play them for the first time again

>It's not like there aren't other games that pride themselves on gloom and doom. Chrono Cross is about a young boy who discovers that his continued existence will eventually cause the implosion of the space-time continuum. Valkyrie Profile is about an undead warrior who harvests the souls of departed mortals, victims of the most tragic suicides and sacrifices imaginable. Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne is about the destruction of all humanity, and the recreation of the world in the hands of a demon. None of these stories are happy, persay, but they can all be resolved, given some sense of finalty. Maybe even joy. And most of all, they are just that - stories. They aren't, you know, real. Animal Crossing is a philosophy. It's preaching that life is nothing but a bunch of work for pointless trinkets, just so you can survive and interact with other people, all of whom are frauds anyway who don't give a damn about what you say. And it doesn't end until you decide to stop playing.
