#the first two bioshock’s excelled at environmental stories using the audio logs and all of them are so good and make me super upset

I was having a decent day, until I remembered a brief, easily-missable side story in one of the first levels of Bioshock 2, where a school teacher and a group of children on a field trip end up trapped in the amusement park level you’re in when the civil war started, and how you hear from her audio logs how she willingly gave up her own food to make sure all the children were well-fed, eventually finding a final audio log on how she realizes she’s dying from starvation but still worries about the kids she’s watching, and you find this audio log by a corpse positioned in a resting pose surrounded by candles and drawings and stuffed animals and I’m sobbing oh god -

#Bioshock #Bioshock 2 #video games #dumb stuff #when i first played through this level and found the audio log next to her corpse it destroyed me #just like in the first game where you find an audio log of distraught parents realizing their daughter is a little sister #and you find that log next to two corpses embracing each other and you realize they took their lives in grief #and then i got to the conclusion of the mark meltzer story in Bioshock 2 and was destroyed once again #the first two bioshock’s excelled at environmental stories using the audio logs and all of them are so good and make me super upset #but yeah the teacher one in 2 is especially devastating to me. what happened to the kids #did they all die? did they somehow make it out with jack? probably not! :) #Bioshock 2 is fantastic and anyone who says otherwise is dumb and has bad opinions #/jk but also kinda not really
