Looking for emotional game recommendations - Blåhaj Lemmy

My favorite games are Omori, Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds. I cried for hours at the end of those games, and I think the common point in them is high-quality emotional writing and stellar OST (music really affect me). I’ve been trying to find something similar, so hss anybody any recommendation? I’d like to add that I basically hated Nier Automata (way too pretentious imo) and Before your Eyes (I wasn’t a fan of the game concept, and found the story pretty weak), and really loved the horror aspects of Omori.

I just finished OneShot this week and I think it could be what you’re looking for. It certainly would if you play the whole game.

You can get very personally attached to the characters in a way that I’ve not had in a game before. It was very hard to finish the game amongst all the tears.

Steamで40% OFF:OneShot

『OneShot』はプレイヤーと主人公によるインタラクティブなやりとりが特徴的な、新感覚パズルアドベンチャーゲームです。 太陽の失われた見知らぬ土地で目覚めた主人公「ニコ」を導き、世界に光を取り戻す旅に出ましょう。

Oneshot looks like it’s what I’m looking for. I’ll try to play it soon! Thank you
You’re welcome, I hope you have a good time!
Thank you! I’ll keep you updated
Just finished the game (and yes it includes solstice) and I loved it! I don’t know if it will be as memorable for me as the other games I mentioned but it was definitely very enjoyable. Thank you!

Oh wow you got through quicker than I. I’m glad. At least now you’ve met Niko!

I’m not surprised there were Linux issues tbh. With some of the mechanics involved I’m surprised you managed to complete it at all. Truly this might be one of those real unsupported steam deck games if you really want the solstice ending

Niko may be the cutest protagonist Ive ever played. Everything worked really well until the solstice where I had some trouble (stuff like >!transparency, and getting _____ to actually run!<
