Not exactly a video game moment so much as a piece of lore but reading through all of the survivalists journal entries in fallout new vegas honest hearts dlc
In that same vein, the logs from Horizon: Zero Dawn's DLC about Concrete Beach Party are pretty sad. Weirdly, it's not even about the end of the old world. It's just two women who work at a dam who became friends when one of them was going through a divorce. Their jobs end up being the last ones to be automated, so they'll soon be out of work. They're kept around for a while, but they barely have any real duties, so they mostly just fuck around for a few months. They have theme days, one of which is a "beach party" next to the sluice gate. They form a two-women bad that uses the industrial sounds of the dam as musical accompaniment.

Eventually, their time comes to an end. They promise to stay in touch and there's every indication they will, but it hits a sort of melancholy gut punch because we've all had close friends that we lose touch with for one reason or another. And the last message they leave is especially poignant given the apocalypse that wiped out their world:

Dear Nobody,
The autocars are on their way. Mine will take me to my apartment in Cody. Hers will take her to the vertiport. She brought her luggage with her to work today. Everything she owns packed into two little suitcases. She's wearing the fanciest outfit I've ever seen her in. "It's for mom," she said. "She bought me this outfit, if you can believe it. Normally, like, who cares, but... I don't know, she's already dealing with a lot."
We walked through the dam today, listened to all these tapes, read all these messages. And maybe this is one of those "sign my yearbook, we'll never lose touch" things, but I'm not scared of losing Laura anymore.
We're family. We didn't inherit each other or settle on each other, we chose each other. No amount of distance, no number of jerks in bad suits or obsequious robots, are going to tear us apart. So listen: on the off chance that someone ever actually does stumble onto these things, here's the truth. There was this band called Concrete Beach Party. And for a second, it was the best band in the world. And you, whoever you are, are really, really lucky. Because you're the only person who ever got to hear them.
See you never,
The last girls on earth.
