10 Silly Video Games With Incredibly Serious Moments
10. The Ending - Klonoa: Door To Phantomile
Anyone who played through Klonoa knows two things: firstly, it's a criminally under appreciated game, and secondly, the ending to the first game, Door To Phantomile, is sad as all hell.
After fighting nobly to save the world and your friends, you're helpfully informed that the memories you have are fake; manufactured so you'd save the world for its real inhabitants. You, however, do not belong in this world, and as such must be sent back to your own world, leaving your best friend Huepow and your adventures behind.
However, this doesn't play out with Klonoa accepting his fate and travelling through a portal or something. No, instead the poor creature is dragged kicked and screaming from this world, begging to be allowed to stay the whole time. It's honestly a little harrowing if you play this section as an adult, let alone as a child who is basically seeing their beloved hero suffer a pretty awful fate for the crime of... saving the world.
