Good! Hope it does thin slices, thank you!

I've had my eye on them for a while, but they look so cute to me that I feel I need a better mood to really enjoy them.

I've played Gemini Rue on my phone obsessively, great game! Night in the Woods and Sally Face both look like the kind of games which one underestimates then ends up sobbing after 12 non-stop hours, like SIGNALIS. Thank you! Oh, I've "used" the first two Thief games so much that I've sanded off any matte they had left:))

Yet another one I already own and completely forgot about, thank you!

For both rich atmosphere and unique game mechanics, you could do a lot worse than [Return of the Obra Dinn](https://youtu.be/ILolesm8kFY). If you're unfamiliar, the presentation evokes early PC (or Mac, more specifically) black and white "1 bit" games, but real time 3d. This already is very distinctive, but the gameplay also sets it apart. You are an insurance investigator with a magic pocket watch which allows you to travel back to the moment in time that someone expired, if you find their corpse. From these brief flashes (and by cross-referencing the ship manifest) you piece together what happened to all the crew and passengers on the ships ill-fated voyage, before it's baffling reemergence years after the fact.

Soumds fuel-efficient, thank you! Definitely looking into it!

Have fun, I think it really is one of the best games of the last decade.

Dear Esther and Kentucky route zero for the music and atmosphere, elden ring for the atmosphere and challenge.

You have so many great recommendations so i am gonna add more. Gulf Club Nostalgia/Wasteland: when depression hits hard why not hit it harder with a tale of nostalgia for a world we have not yet lost. Simple golf game but the radio station is... A lot. To the Moon: the whole series is just what if all we could give those dying the happiness of a lie implanted in their memories and what can we provide for those still living who dont get it so easy? Among the Sleep: just a 2 year old kid and your mom has gone missing and the world is so scary in the dark.

It is. Its also maybe not the best game to play when you're struggling. I played it when I lost a close family member and I became a wreck for weeks It helped me process the loss, but it drew all of my emotions out in the process

Darkwood.

I suppose they could be looked at in that way... I found them to be both thrilling and frightful.

Hollow Knight (more so than Silksong tbh) Night in the Woods

To The Moon broke me man

Have you played journey? It's great in my opinion the music and visuals bringe up every time I play it the end he sequence has made me cry in a few occasions.

These are basically ancient, but if you want to feel like crap. - The walking dead, from telltale - spec ops the line - this war of mine - papers please

The rest of that series is like that too.

Really does look moody, and I love the strategy bits! Thanks, definitely wishlisted!
