Cloudpunk
Genres: story-driven, cyberpunk, dystopian, dialogue
In Cloudpunk, you play as Rania, a delivery driver in the dystopian, cyberpunk city of Nivalis. The story progresses as you make deliveries around the city, exploring and meeting the citizens while speaking with Control over the radio, who guides you around. Rania isn't from Nivalis so you get to see the city through her eyes as she uncovers its secrets and learns how it came to be. This game's story is driven by dialogue, there's emotional bits and funny bits, so if you like that and cyberpunk dystopias then I highly recommend it :)

Homebody
Genres: horror, puzzle, time-loop
Homebody is a horror-puzzle game developed by Game Grumps. You arrive at a spooky house for a short holiday with your group of friends, but soon find yourself being chased by a relentless killer, forcing you to solve puzzles to escape. The game explores mental health issues like anxiety, OCD, and isolation as you uncover more about the protagonist's relationships. It’s both thrilling and emotional, and I strongly connected with the game’s themes, so I highly recommend it :)
