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!

    Disco Elysium shattered me half a dozen times. Two moments in particular made me step away from my desk and go on a walk. It’s the best-written game I’ve ever played.

    Firewatch. Gorgeous, emotionally honest game that wrings you out.

    Inside. More of a stressful, cathartic cry, but it applies.

    Mass Effect 3 - but only if you play the first two. Incredible story that beats you over the head with yearning .
