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!
Chrono Trigger. A timeless game that will make you laugh and cry and experience all that in between. The sequel Chrono Cross is also great but the original is just unrivalled.
Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time.
Here is a list of games I think are timeless (pun kinda intended): https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/1552760
What really dude? I am playing it for the first time ever and I have read it is a masterpiece, but I didn’t know it peaked on emotional stuff as well.
Spiritfarer. I loved it on switch, but it’s also on steam.
“Spiritfarer® is a cozy management game about dying. As ferrymaster to the deceased, build a boat to explore the world, care for your spirit friends, and release them into the afterlife.”
Never heard of it. I’ll have to check it out! I also hear To The Moon is really good, but I haven’t finished it.
Spiritfarer is such a gem, one of the spirits you send to the afterlife really broke me. It’s also available on Netflix Games so if you have a tablet and a Netflix sub you can try it from there.
The ending of Transistor made me feel things. There may have been a sob or two.
Red Dead Redemption has an emotional ending.
I heard good things, but open world games intimidate me due to the length.
