Recommendations of really moody games for crummy days
-
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is not always gloomy. The world is actually quite beautiful in most places. But it's start to tears time is about 30 minutes. Time to subsequent tears depends on your playstyle.

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

So, going through It
again and my mood's really gloomy. Anyone got any good recommendations to go with my mood? To specify, PC-only, and I'm mostly asking for atmosphere, though some mechanical goodness will not go unappreciated. Thinking of stuff like Observer, Silent Hill, Darkwood, Arx Fatalis, Fallout: NV, Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, etc. Played most of these except Bloodborne, gathering the patience to deal with emulation.

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. -

Darkwood. -
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.

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

The long dark is a harsh winter survival game with a gloomy story (dlc). https://store.steampowered.com/app/305620/The_Long_Dark/ -

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.

It doesn't have much of a pre-defined story to it, but I would say Project Zomboid is pretty moody and has a lot of gameplay depth.

I've been morbidly attracted to Cat Lady for a very, very long time now, but what I've heard about it makes me feel like it'd be too much in times of crisis. That feels more like a "I'm feeling ok, let's hurt myself a bit" kinda' game to me. Oxenfree looks really cool, looks like it'd make for a comfy bed game! Thank you!

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
