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!
These are the games that came to mind:
The Last of Us
Life is Strange
Final Fantasy X
Another recommendation for the first season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead
Hopefully you haven’t played these already.
Life is Strange for sure. Idk what it is but I was emotional for days after finishing it. Wasn’t a huge fan of the others in the series but I can’t recommend the first one enough
Same, it was the first game that ever made me cry, and honestly opened me up for crying on other stuff.
I liked True Colors as well.
Same! I played it as it was being released in 2015 (I think?) and I still find myself thinking about it every now and then. Such an experience.
I played Before the Storm and True Colours but they just couldn’t compare to the first game so I’m not a big fan of them either.
Life is Strange. I played the first chapter of this game. It’s just awesome 👌
It only gets better from there. 👍
In fact Chapter 1 is free on Steam (maybe on console as well but I don’t have a console to check) so I encourage anyone even remotely interested to give it a shot.
I was supremely disappointed with The Last of Us. The intro was fantastic, but everything after that (including the ending) was just “meh”.
FFX has been on my list for a long time now. Only FF game I’ve played is VI.
I kept hearing about TT TWD when it came out. Been meaning to play it. IDK much about Life is Strange.
Ah bummer. I’m sorry to hear TLoU didn’t work for you.
It’s a great game with some really emotional moments. I enjoyed it a lot and it’s a lot of people’s favourite game in the series (mine is VI which you’ve already played).
It’s really hard to describe without spoiling anything. I mentioned in another comment that the first chapter is free on Steam so if you wanted to try it without a monetary risk then that’s always an option.
