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!

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."

Spiritfarer is such a gem, one of the spirits you send to the afterlife really broke me. It's also available on Netflix Games so if you have a tablet and a Netflix sub you can try it from there.

It does such a good job of making you get attached to the characters. I cried for more than a couple of them. They don’t all end the same way too, and some are really heartbreaking.

The light you showed me was more than a beacon. It was a guide. Only I was too blind to see it. My shades were too opaque.

Never heard of it. I'll have to check it out! I also hear To The Moon is really good, but I haven't finished it.

I'll look into it. Thanks!
