For me, in no particular order:

  • This War of Mine
  • What Remains of Edith Finch
  • Gone Home
  • Papers Please

    While maybe not exactly what you mean, Tunic.

    It made me feel all kinds of things. Mostly it was the mind blowing “aha” moments when I learned something fundamental about the game that had been there all along, I just hadn’t pieced it together, yet.

    It’s such a unique game that I seriously doubt could ever be done again.

      If you enjoy games like that, where the game challenges you to figure out the fundamental rules that were there all along, then I highly recommend Outer Wilds.

      I actually mentioned Outer Wilds in another comment here, and while it does have its emotional moments, I think it also does really well with respecting a player’s intelligence and rewarding curiosity

        I own the game, it’s installed on my Steam Deck. One of these days I will play it. I know it has that same “you can only really experience it once” gameplay.
