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?

If you like narrative games, you might like As Dusk Falls, which you can get on Steam for under $10 right now. I'm enjoying it a lot. #AsDuskFalls

There's a preview trailer on YouTube, I believe. Be prepared: it's almost 70GB download.
