History TearJerker / NotForBroadcast

* In Day 371, if you play through the Disrupt hacks after you let Jeremy die in Day 296, one of them has Alan James deliver a stunning eulogy for him that raises the viewership performance rating bar to max capacity, showing that he truly respected the anchorman. It even moves players who follow the Disrupt path to tears as well.

** To add insult to injury, if you went for the Genocide Route and [[AnyoneCanDie killed off your entire family and your headline characters]], ruined the lives of side-characters, and bankrupted all companies except Eye of the Beholder, then the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onJsGrwdmAk credits sequence]] can be a real DownerEnding that can move you to tears, bringing a new meaning to the credits song, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKMJOrab15U Bring It All Down]]".

* In the Finale, Boseman can call in before the last segment. While he's usually [[MeanBoss looking down on you for disobeying orders]] or [[BenevolentBoss proud of you for doing a good job]], he seems [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness utterly depressed by the state of Channel One]] being turned into a Talk Show, [[StoppedCaring and even he doesn't care anymore.]]

* If Jeremy is dead but Alan survives by Day 2602, he storms the studio in the final segment planning to take everyone out. Jenny immediately freaks out the moment he enters, no doubt having traumatic flashbacks to when Jeremy took the studio hostage and ended up being killed in front of her. Megan also receives a traumatic blow if you choose not to play the footage Julia had on hand, witnessing her own friend get shot in the head by Alan for revealing the truth about him. Her look of anguish as she looks at Jenny's dead body is heartbreaking, and just to add insult to injury, she's blown up soon afterwards, [[KillEmAll along with everyone else on set]], [[TheHeroDies including you]], by Alan's suicide bomb vest.

* [[AdultFear Your daughter and sibling-in-law]] can potentially die to the nukes. After Day 371, you come home to Sam breaking down due to their deaths. For players trying their best to keep the Winston family afloat, [[PlayerPunch this can be utterly heartbreaking.]]

* Megan receives another devastating blow during the finale. If Jeremy returns during the final broadcast, he will confront Julia about the fact that Advance's food rations were poisoned after a failed experiment with the nation's crops and livestock to try to curtail an impending overpopulation crisis. This causes Megan to come to the grim realization that this is the reason she and her wife Kate couldn't get pregnant despite trying for so long. The people she trusted and advocated for had sterilized her against her will and if Jeremy never exposed them then she never would have known the true reason why. It wasn't just her either. Every couple in the nation under Advance's rule has likely had their potential parenthood stolen from them because of Advance's actions. In some of the worse endings it's even revealed that Advance's plans [[GoneHorriblyWrong were too effective]] and caused the opposite problem of an under-population crisis where the nation's birth rate is too slow to replace the population as it aged forcing Advance to incentivize births and maintain large families.

* After Advance publicly admit they were the ones that dropped the four nukes, Megan opens up about her personal life. Specifically, her brother. He was a researcher and was out in one of the foreign cities, meaning he probably died by the nukes. Megan looks like she's fighting back tears during the live broadcast, and then breaks down after the broadcast as a crewwoman tries to comfort her.

"Alex, it's Boseman. I'm not sure how to put this, but some of the content for today's broadcast might be upsetting. Not the outrage or uncomfortable upsetting, but the [[TearJerker depressed upsetting.]] Just try to keep the viewers happy and not make them cry."
