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.

A Night in the woods. It really taught me the value of friendship. It's such a beautiful game. You return to your group both estranged and welcomed.

Thank you, yes that's the one for me

I really identified with the main character and her best friend really reminded me of MY best friend

So seeing their friendship develop the way it did, how the best friend's boyfriend changes him and everything... it was so good.

Thank you for reminding me
