A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

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!

Chrono Trigger. A timeless game that will make you laugh and cry and experience all that in between. The sequel Chrono Cross is also great but the original is just unrivalled.

Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time.

Here is a list of games I think are timeless (pun kinda intended): https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/1552760

What really dude? I am playing it for the first time ever and I have read it is a masterpiece, but I didn't know it peaked on emotional stuff as well.

Make sure you do all the sidequests.

Play it all the way through and you'll see. It's part of the reason why it's so highly regarded.
