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!

Spiritfarer. I loved it on switch, but it's also on steam.

"Spiritfarer® is a cozy management game about dying. As ferrymaster to the deceased, build a boat to explore the world, care for your spirit friends, and release them into the afterlife."

Spiritfarer is such a gem, one of the spirits you send to the afterlife really broke me. It's also available on Netflix Games so if you have a tablet and a Netflix sub you can try it from there.

It does such a good job of making you get attached to the characters. I cried for more than a couple of them. They don’t all end the same way too, and some are really heartbreaking.

The light you showed me was more than a beacon. It was a guide. Only I was too blind to see it. My shades were too opaque.

Never heard of it. I'll have to check it out! I also hear To The Moon is really good, but I haven't finished it.

I'll look into it. Thanks!

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
