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 Invincible by Starward Industries. You play as a scientist searching for missing crew on a foreign planet, and choices matter. It’s philosophical, atmospheric, moving, and at times thrilling.

There’s lots of walking around and radio communication back to the commander of the dragonfly ship, which reminds me of conversations with Delilah in Firewatch.

The game made it to the top of my list in this genre, next to Firewatch and The Long Dark.
