I have been on a kick lately with short games. Because I'm a parent with a hectic job, it's really nice to be able to beat a game in just a few days.

I've played both Plague Tale games (10 & 20 hours respectively), Stray (7 hours), and Alan Wake (10 hours). All great stories, very atmospheric, and felt like just the right length for what they were.

Any other good story-heavy games that are pretty short? Throw any and all recommendations at me!

Limbo and Inside are both short and atmospheric, but not story heavy at all.

Oof, I would tend to disagree. Those stories are dark (despite being unexplained) and have stuck with me for years.
