I’m curious about other couples’ experiences, particularly guys who played with partners who get emotional easily. Did the elephant part upset your partner too much? I’ve heard this is a great co-op game for casual players and couples who want to game together, but I’m concerned about that one specific moment. My girlfriend gets really attached to characters and animals in games, and I don’t want her to have a bad experience. She doesn’t game much but seemed interested in trying this one with me. Should I warn her beforehand or maybe skip this game entirely? Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation where their partner got really upset during that scene?
Push through that rough part - the rest is absolutely magical.
Just play it without warning her. Yeah, that moment’s rough, but the rest of the game is amazing and she’ll probably love everything else.
That part upset my wife too, but she got over it fast. The game’s all about fixing relationships, so that moment actually pays off later. I’d go for it - she’ll get hooked on the creative gameplay and forget about the sad bit. The rest is pure fun and you’ll both be laughing again in no time.
We both teared up but kept playing. The game handles it well and moves forward pretty quickly.
That scene’s brutal but it works perfectly for the story. My partner got upset but kept going because she had to know what happens next. The game makes you feel awful on purpose, then uses that feeling to build something bigger. Don’t spoil it beforehand - let it hit naturally. Trust me, the whole experience pays off.
Yeah, that elephant scene hits hard but don’t let it stop you. The game’s amazing after that part - most people forget about it once the story really kicks in.
My girlfriend cried during that part but still loved the game. The story gets really sweet after that rough moment.
