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.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter I loved it! Gone Home of course! Very good also Edith Finch, a video game gem! Spiritfarer a real slap in the face! But so moving.

Thanks man. Out of those, what would you think is closest to firewatch in impact and tight linear story?

For my part I would say What Remains of Edith Finch.

Thanks man. I think it seems the most similar if a different message.
