this is kind of a highly specific fetishy thing for me, so bear with me, but i wish there was a game like the sims except focused entirely on crying.

you’d get to make a character, customize their gender/age/appearance/etc. to your heart’s content, and then play through their days, with the premise being that your character — for whatever reason, the game wouldn’t give one so you could imagine your own — is just crying all the time.

like the sims, your gameplay would revolve around managing your character’s needs (food, water, hygiene, sleep, etc.), and also their crying.

they would be able to hold back tears for periods of time (like to go to work or school, or to do a chore that requires focus, or to talk to someone) but it wouldn’t be for long. i’m imagining a little meter on screen, “restraint” or “emotional strength” or something, the more your character cried the more it filled up, and holding back tears would make it deplete, and if it ran out entirely the character would start crying again no matter what they were doing at the time.

there would be lots of crying-focused interactions, of course. the character could cry in the shower, cry themselves to sleep, watch weepy movies, cry using tissues or handkerchiefs. clicking on them would let you choose from an options menu of ways to cry. quiet, loud, sobbing, weeping…

it would be semi-realistic (managing dehydration and exhaustion, things like pillows and clothes and handkerchiefs getting wet) and semi-unrealistic (big puddles of tears, and a toggle in the options menu for whether you want to deal with things like snot and headaches and your character feeling sick from crying so hard)

and comforting, of course! lots of npcs to befriend that can comfort your character.

crying animations and voice acting just realistic enough to be compelling, but not too uncanny valley or stiff. customizable, too! ugly cryface, pretty cryface, lots of tears, sobbing, wiping eyes, unchecked tears. whatever your heart desires. lots of camera control to watch your character cry at any angle.

sighhhh. only in my dreams.
