My Favourites

Recommendations:

Spiritfarer
Genres: action, platformer, resource management, death & relationships

In this game, you play as Stella, the new Spiritfarer whose job it is to find the spirits of those who have died, hear their requests and ferry them to the Everdoor where they will pass on. All the characters you meet have unique personalities and problems, which it is your job to help out with. I think the best part of this game is it's meaningful dialogue, emotional and funny where it needs to be, it speaks to a wide range of relationships and life experiences. You captain a boat on which farms, utilities and houses for spirits can be built, so there is a strong building and resouce management asepect as well. The whole game is a journey and well worth the ride :)

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 :)

Death's Door
Genres: RPG, fighting, action-adventure
