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!

Firewatch made my heart hurt. Twice.

It was such an amazing game, ruined by a rushed ending that just completely skipped over many of the events that had happened in the story. It makes me so mad because it could easily have been a 10/10.

I still very much recommend it tho

It's 10/10 either way for me. I played that game at the right time in my life I think because things were changing for me and it made me release a lot of emotion I had been holding on to. Fuck it sucks trying to be stoic.

It's definitely one of those games that the strength is in the journey, not the destination.

I started playing it right during a divorce and did not keep going. Noped out in the first 10 minutes. I should revisit it now that I'm in a better place.
