Discussion Are there any games that have legitimately affected you like firewatch?

I can’t really think of anything aside from red dead 2 that gave me new perspectives on my own life from a piece of media.

Are there any games like firewatch, that legitimately gave you that feeling? I had considered giving Edith finch a go, but I think the story of a guy escaping his life really hit me in firewatch and I’d love to play anything similar.

Maybe try road 96, it’s also about people escaping. A lot of people who played Firewatch recommended it to me and if you like firewatch I think you’ll like it

I have watched videos of that, it does seem extremely open ended though which I struggle with. I enjoyed firewatch because of its relative linearity. It could be one to try though, I’ve heard people love it.

I forgot to mention this but a game is coming out very soon called arctic awakening which is very similar to firewatch
