News::'That Dragon, Cancer' forced me to confront my past

This article contains spoilers for That Dragon, Cancer.

My son died on May 27th 2005, the day after his extremely premature birth. I rarely talk about it, or even let my brain wander to the memories of what were some of the worst hours of my life. That Dragon, Cancer forced me to. It's a game that tells the true story of its creators, Amy and Ryan Green, struggling with the cancer of their son Joel. Diagnosed at one and given a few months to live, Joel lived to five years old. It's gut-wrenching stuff for any player, but as a father who has lost a child, it affected me deeply.
