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!

People already recommended some Final Fantasies, but really all of them can get you quite emotional at times.

If you like VNs, Umineko no Naku Koro ni made me cry so many times...

Edit: Just remembered Once on a Windswept Night, it's just a short game you can complete in a hour, but for some reason it made me really emotional.

Is that related to Higurashi?

Yes, distantly.

Interesting. Haven't read any of the VNs, but the OG Higurashi anime is one of my favorites.

Did you also watch Higurashi Gou and Sotsu? If not maybe consider watching them AFTER playing Umineko.
