What's your story of big failure?

Hello, I just watched an "Indie Game: The Movie" and was impressed by stories shown.

Braid, Fez, Super Meat Boy, developers of those games have put nearly everything they had on the game.
In the end they all succeeded and their risk pays off.

But it seems to be the Survivorship Bios.
I know that much more games have failed and didn't attract any attention for whatever reason.

So I want to ask you:
Have your game failed you in the end?
Please tell me your story
