    Absolutely not, of course it is about having fun.
    Are you going to just experience something that makes you feel miserable? Not an unfun moment for catharsis later, but an entire make-you-feel-awful experience?
    Getting lost in a fantasy world is about having fun.

      Horror games exist though. There’s all sorts of indie horror games that pretty much only exist to tell a very bleak and depressing story and then it’s over.

      They’re not for everyone, and maybe not even you, but I would say that experiencing those might be enjoyable but not fun.
