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 really liked Before Your Eyes, it’s a game that advances every time you blink.
This is the first one I thought of. It completely wrecked me and I was sobbing by the end.
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.”
Spiritfarer is an absolutely wonderful experience that is somehow both a casual open world chill game and a game that delves deep into the topic of death, being prepared for it, and leaving people behind. Really special game.
If you get this game don’t grind for resources. Only get them as you need them. There’s no reason to stockpile them.
Every time a 95% shot misses in XCOM (or X-Com), I cry.
Hahaha indeed. This game truly taught me picard’s words.
Journey
Journey made me cry. Journey made my partner rage. It’s all about the RNG. I got the perfect match my first go, they got multiple poor matches in a row.
Horizon Zero Dawn. The story itself isn’t especially emotional, but learning the secret history of the world broke me, mostly because it seemed entirely plausible in our not-too-distant future.
Fuck Ted Faro
What an odd thing to downvote.
I’m currently being mass downvoted because I’ve made an enemy of the She-Ra fans. Apparently She-Ra fans like Ted Faro.
That’s pretty funny, and a delightful invitation to check out your comment history.
Sadly, while I hoped to find a hilarious misunderstanding with She-Ra shippers, what I found was a habit of commenting with unusually combatative language. :(
Good luck with the She-Ra shippers, anyway.
