Ah, Metro 2033 - what a book you are. Funny, dark, contemplative, exciting, moody...
Not to mention having an utterly depressing ending.
I'll put it in spoiler brackets for you.
So yeah, I was feeling kind of depressed when I finished reading that.
So Escapists, what are in your opinion the works - be they game, book, or movie - with the most depressing endings in existence?

Just when the missiles are en route to the dark ones' nest, Artyom has a sudden vision/telepathic message, because of which is he realizes that the dark ones wanted peace all along, that the dark ones are the new evolution of mankind, that together, humans and dark ones, they can perhaps reclaim the earth in a prosperous alliance - and then the missiles rain down upon the nest, and the dark ones and all hope for humanity are destroyed in torrents of fire, much like the torrents of fire that destroyed most of humanity in the first place. In the end, there is no hope anymore and it is strongly implied that internal wars will soon decimate the populace of the Moscow metro to the point of inevitable extinction.
