My favorite games are Omori, Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds. I cried for hours at the end of those games, and I think the common point in them is high-quality emotional writing and stellar OST (music really affect me) and my attachment to the characters.
I also found that my taste in movies was similar (Hana-bi by Takeshi Kitano is my favorite movie)
I've been trying to find something similar, so has anybody any recommendation?
I'd like to add that I basically hated Nier Automata (way too pretentious imo) and Before your Eyes (I wasn't a fan of the game concept, and found the story pretty weak), and really loved the horror aspects of Omori.
I also heard about To the moon, but games talking about disease are hard for me to enjoy

Luckily, they were eventually able to get it up in their own site for sale, but the damage is done. They lost so much in sales and momentum. The game truly is amazing, and this game had just started to really get buzz around it when all this happened. Barely anyone even knows it now, even though it’s one of the best psychological horror and family tragedy games out there.

I look at everything happening with the Silent Hill 2 remake and wish Red Candle hadn’t gotten kneecapped by bullshit so they could be the ones doing it.
