Basically what the title says. I’ve only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.
Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.
EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I’m going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!
I may be a bit late to the party but The last of us 1&2 had a pretty emotional impact on me. The game is pretty brutal, in every meaning, but the overall experience and story telling is hard to top.
I highly recommend to not get spoiled and play it in order of release!
Probably gonna get hate for it but I’m a man in my 40’s and some of the Genshin Impact story lines have left me in tears.
Bastion hit me like no other game really has. The start of supergiants fantastic game repertoire and I feel it gets overlooked due to its age. The music and narration is fantastic, and the story that unfolds is beautiful.
Disco Elysium shattered me half a dozen times. Two moments in particular made me step away from my desk and go on a walk. It’s the best-written game I’ve ever played.
Firewatch. Gorgeous, emotionally honest game that wrings you out.
Inside. More of a stressful, cathartic cry, but it applies.
Mass Effect 3 - but only if you play the first two. Incredible story that beats you over the head with yearning .
I mean, you could try one of Jason Oda’s games. Continue?9876543210 or Waking.
