Looking for games that will make me cry - SDF Chatter

Basically what the title says. I’ve only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more. Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.

I beat Outer Wilds right after my first kid was born and it absolutely tore me to pieces.
100%. Even in the general ‘middle’, every now and then, a few simple lines of text would just punch me right in the gut
The interloper jfc
Ahhh and the music too BTW I would mark that as a spoiler, I know I wouldn’t want to know even that there’s something worth mentioning like this there
I mean it’s one of the only places you can land on, it’s in the map immediately
It’s not a spoiler that it exists as a place, >!but it’s a tiny place that most don’t realise hides anything until much later in the game. Reading that it is a place that has stuck with you for an emotional reason, then finding almost nothing on the surface, kinda spoils the discovery of the puzzle itself (getting in).!< It’s not really a spoiler in most games, but realising things like this is really the whole gameplay here
Fair enough. Also spoiler tag didn’t work lol
Oh god haha that’s even worse. It works for me but I just checked a different lemmy app and it doesn’t work there, I guess it’s not implemented everywhere yet. Thanks for the heads up
Outer Wilds is a masterpiece.
Came to say Outer Wilds. That end moved me.
I don’t think I stopped thinking about that game for a solid three months after I beat it.

Ah yes, thank you for beating me to it. It’s been years since I first played and I still think about it almost every day.

This, entirely. It’s just one of those games that I can’t get past. Truly a solid recommendation
