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.
Came to say Outer Wilds. That end moved me.
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
Removed it since it could be seen as a spoiler
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

It’s not a spoiler that it exists as a place, >!but it’s a tiny place that most don’t realise hides anything until much later in the game. Reading that it is a place that has stuck with you for an emotional reason, then finding almost nothing on the surface, kinda spoils the discovery of the puzzle itself (getting in).!< It’s not really a spoiler in most games, but realising things like this is really the whole gameplay here
Fair enough. Also spoiler tag didn’t work lol
Outer Wilds is a masterpiece.
This, entirely. It’s just one of those games that I can’t get past. Truly a solid recommendation
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.
