Hi, as it’s in my title. I’m looking for narrative driven games with good story, something I can play on my steam deck. Not something open open world but more of a on rails experience.
Things I’ve played that that should give rough idea what I have in mind:

  • The last of us
  • until dawn/the dark pictures anthology series
  • the quarry
  • new/remakes of resident evil games
  • Road 96
  • Alan Wake remake

I obviously have a horror/mystery preferences and I want the story to be told to me, I don’t like the dark souls approach of “guess or read all of the in game books or w/e to have a chance at glimpsing a hint of a story”

    Not sure it would run on steam deck but have a loop to Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Soul and Detroit Become Human from Quantic Dreams

      I’ve played Detroit, thank you. I admit I became a bit of a graphics fidelity snob and the other two seem to dated for me

        Heavy Rain looks for sure outdated, but the story is really nice. If you accept that the control are a bit tricky and think it more like a movie it can be quite enjoyable

    Yeah probably not what you’re looking for but Out There on Android is a sleeper. Think The Martian (yeah the novel) mixed with No Man’s Sky. Some free and open elements with a journal-driven story progression. Difficult as well.
