I have to disagree. I thought The Devil's Playhouse was extremely depressing. They kill off many, many characters in that game (in completely unnecessary and mean-spirited ways, at that. What was even the point of killing off the ancestors? And the cockroach guy's death immediately got jokes along the lines of "flush him down the toilet"), including Max himself. And the "happy" ending is that a different Max from another dimension was left so utterly miserable by Sam's death in his dimension, that he abandoned his world to go look for a universe where Sam was still alive.
