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 beat Outer Wilds right after my first kid was born and it absolutely tore me to pieces.

        I don’t think I stopped thinking about that game for a solid three months after I beat it.

      100%. Even in the general ‘middle’, every now and then, a few simple lines of text would just punch me right in the gut

          Ahhh and the music too

          BTW I would mark that as a spoiler, I know I wouldn’t want to know even that there’s something worth mentioning like this there

              Edit - deleted, because explaining why it is a spoiler is a spoiler, and apparently the spoiler tags don’t work on a lot of lemmy apps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                  Oh god haha that’s even worse. It works for me but I just checked a different lemmy app and it doesn’t work there, I guess it’s not implemented everywhere yet. Thanks for the heads up

      Ctrl-F Outer Wilds

      Ah yes, thank you for beating me to it. It’s been years since I first played and I still think about it almost every day.

      This, entirely. It’s just one of those games that I can’t get past. Truly a solid recommendation
