My favorite games are Omori, Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds. I cried for hours at the end of those games, and I think the common point in them is high-quality emotional writing and stellar OST (music really affect me) and my attachment to the characters.
I also found that my taste in movies was similar (Hana-bi by Takeshi Kitano is my favorite movie)
I’ve been trying to find something similar, so has anybody any recommendation?
I’d like to add that I basically hated Nier Automata (way too pretentious imo) and Before your Eyes (I wasn’t a fan of the game concept, and found the story pretty weak), and really loved the horror aspects of Omori.
I also heard about To the moon, but games talking about disease are hard for me to enjoy
If it’s emotional you want, you can’t beat To the Moon and its sequel, Finding Paradise. They’re walking sims, but they’ve got great stories that’ll make you ugly cry
Came here to say the exact same thing: To the Moon is definitely a game for ugly crying. I even replayed it a couple of years ago, and even when I already KNEW what was going to happen, I still found myself crying for hours and being overemotional for a week. Great games with beautiful storytelling. I can feel myself tearing up just by thinking about it. Maybe it’s time for another replay haha
Dont forget there is a 3rd in the series now called Imposter Factory which was good too!
To the moon had the best story and made me very emotional, the other two don’t his quite so hard but still left an impact. I’d highly recommend the series if you like that kind of story.
