ive never been much of a gamer, but I recently tried playing that’s not my neighbor and it was actually really fun (perhaps because of its rather simple game setup) so I’m kind of invested into playing more but primarily ones with more serious storylines
this vid here caught my eye today (highly recommend, very well organized and made me think a lot about my own experiences!!)
i first encountered silent hill 2 when I was 12 and I didn’t really process the story or its themes in that first gameplay but revisiting the game as an adult has kind of blown my mind a bit by just how heavy the emotional weight of the game is (and how I had no business playing it at the age of 12…)
I haven’t played mouthwashing but I am really interested in playing it after watching this video
interested in other recommendations as well!

It’s funny cause I’m too scared to actually play most of the games, I watch other people play them on Youtube. I’m just obsessed with the storytelling you can do with this medium. Especially sick if the game is made by just one obsessed person. My favorite of all time is Sally Face. But I’ve also watched a ton of Silent Hill and Fear and Hunger playthroughs.

Immortality-more horror/mystery. you scrub through footage of a movie star and things get weird, fast. really unique storytelling, great acting. don't want to say anything else to avoid any spoilers!
Return of the Obra Dinn-detective/puzzle. you move through time and memories on the once lost merchant ship Obra Dinn and uncover a wild and twisted story. super detailed, extremely addictive in my experience, really unique graphics. it's like an interactive comic book with the most satisfying reveals and discoveries.
Honorable mentions: Strange Horticulture, Gris (all time fav platformer), Void Crew (more of a strategy game than a story game but fun to play with friends)
