What remains of Edith Finch, a very emotional and wonderful game, short and bitter sweet.
I'd go so far to even gift it to people. Outer Wilds make you feel small and huge at the same time.
Opus: The Day We Found Earth, another great short one.

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.

If you wanna have some nostalgia for 2000s era AOL chatrooms you ahould try Emily is Away Too
Hypnospace outlaw also keeps some of this similar nostalgia alive and now I want to go check out this one for even more of it
Most point and click adventures take about 6-10 hours in my experience. My favorites are the Monkey Island and Deponia games.
I think Cocoon will fit in 10 hours. It did for me.
A bit old, but gold: Fate (the dungeon crawler one). It's a bit low-poly by today's standards, but it's so fun and has killer music, lots of spells and weapons, tons of interesting enemies and can be beaten in like 6 hours.
Ratchet and Clank (into the) nexus on ps3 is like a 5 hour game. It also nicely ties into the latest game if you've yet to play that
Digital - A Love Story and its not so close successor Hate Plus. These are digital novels. The former is a story set in a cozy 80s BBS network and the other in an archeological space ship retelling stories related to old Korea. Both touched me very much.
Resident Evil 7 & 8. Seven sets a new protagonist in a series reboot sort of way, so you might miss some Easter eggs and callbacks but playing the previous games AT ALL. Its meant to be an entry point in the series.

Spec Ops: The Line is $6 on steam right now, it's one of the few games I would call a masterpiece. I was able to finish it in two sittings, it's the perfect length and it's so damn good
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is another masterpiece, $4.50 on steam right now, an absolute crime that a game as beautiful as that is that cheap. You gotta make sure you're wearing headphones when you play it
Spec Ops: The Line was a surprise. The name sounds like a B level shooter. Powerful ending.

Portal, Hyperbolica
If you're good enough, Vanquish.
INSIDE is one of my favorite games of any length
Small saga
