Let’s say a middle-aged librarian/writer had never played a video game. This person loves stories, language, and history and is not comfortable with graphic depictions of violence. This person would like to be immersed in a story that is also a game, and would prefer not to buy a whole bunch of stuff or acquire an entirely new skillset.
What’s the one game you would recommend?

@Julie For me, Firewatch fit this criteria nicely.

@Bruce @Julie Seconding firewatch! or in a similar vein: oxenfree (a little more mystery/lightly horror, like firewatch, I don't think I remember any violence in it?), life is strange (basically a 3D visual novel, personally I'd still recommend starting with the first one), Va-11 Hall-A (play as a bartender in a cyberpunk future, half visual novel and half cooking game), or maybe tacoma (mystery game on a space station in the future)
