I'm looking for games that make me feel small and insignificant (sh.itjust.works)

Pretty much, I'm looking for a game where I'm not the hero, I'm not the protagonist, I'm just a pawn in the big picture.

Preferably a game with a big open world too, one that feels real and isn't just a predetermined path for my player.

I also like games where you aren't clearly stronger than all your opponents like you're some sort of God so they actually feel intimidating and there is a fear of dying

All suggestions are welcome

Thanks :>

Btw the spoiler tag doesn't seem to work.

I do remember that in the beginning I thought I was just some corp quasi-slave pleb that was being left for the dead (I went in quite blind). But once I found out that the universe was pretty much mine to explore (I think around the time I left the first world) I began to feel that way. It doesn't help much that the universe itself is rather empty in terms of the characters and there's essentially no depth to most npcs you meet in single player.

Spoiler tag worked for me with Sync client.

Might be the app I'm using. I'll see if I can drop them a message.
