Hi, as it’s in my title. I’m looking for narrative driven games with good story, something I can play on my steam deck. Not something open open world but more of a on rails experience.
Things I’ve played that that should give rough idea what I have in mind:

  • The last of us
  • until dawn/the dark pictures anthology series
  • the quarry
  • new/remakes of resident evil games
  • Road 96
  • Alan Wake remake

I obviously have a horror/mystery preferences and I want the story to be told to me, I don’t like the dark souls approach of “guess or read all of the in game books or w/e to have a chance at glimpsing a hint of a story”

A couple that popped to mind from my library are Pillars of the Earth and the Banner Saga. I haven’t played a lot of either because I prefer open games and get my narratives from books instead, but they were both spoken relatively well of when I looked at them.

Pyre kind of counts, too, though the story and gameplay are both kind of weird. It’s decent, just unique.
