Basically what the title says. I’ve only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.
Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.
EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I’m going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!
Spiritfarer. I loved it on switch, but it’s also on steam.
“Spiritfarer® is a cozy management game about dying. As ferrymaster to the deceased, build a boat to explore the world, care for your spirit friends, and release them into the afterlife.”
I cried at the ending of Outer Wields. Its was very beautiful. You need to search the story for yourself and complete little puzzle. At the end when you get the full story its just beautiful and scary.
Disco Elysium made me cry after a short conversation with a random man on the street. I haven’t played much of it yet, so I can’t speak to the majority of the content, but what I have played of it evokes more emotion than any game I’ve ever played before.
I beat Outer Wilds right after my first kid was born and it absolutely tore me to pieces.

Spiritfarer is an absolutely wonderful experience that is somehow both a casual open world chill game and a game that delves deep into the topic of death, being prepared for it, and leaving people behind. Really special game.
If you get this game don’t grind for resources. Only get them as you need them. There’s no reason to stockpile them.
Mass Effect trilogy made me pretty emotional at times.
Your reward for playing the first two correctly is that #3 will wreck you at least three times.
The ending still kind of sucks, but it’s the journey that makes it worth while.
I really liked Before Your Eyes, it’s a game that advances every time you blink.
This is the first one I thought of. It completely wrecked me and I was sobbing by the end.
Every time a 95% shot misses in XCOM (or X-Com), I cry.
Hahaha indeed. This game truly taught me picard’s words.
Yakuza 0. That ending. Bruh.
