Papers please is really a great game. With the rise of indie games, there's quite a few games that tackle difficult problems
- Papo y yo - alcoholism and child abuse
- Little Kite - also alcoholism and abuse
- Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons - mourning and loss
- Orwell - Privacy (although I would not recommend it as much as the first two)
- Valiant Hearts: The Great War - emotional toll of World War 1
- This war of mine - living in a war zone
- To the moon - not going to spoil it
- Rakuen
By the way, Little Kite is free right now https://freebies.indiegala.com/little-kite https://freebies.indiegala.com/little-kite
- rgoulter 5y agoI can recommend "Spiritfarer" under "emotionally impactful", too.
- indigochill 5y agoI think Cart Life was the first game that hit me this way (shortly before Papers, Please). It really made me empathize with the desperate situations the characters were in, and in a way that felt more fully realized than in Papers, Please, though that's also a great game.
- bussierem 5y ago'Gris' is also another game about mourning and loss, and is an absolute audiovisual experience on its own.
- js8 5y agoThere is also "That Dragon, Cancer" but I haven't played it because emotional exhaustion is the last thing I want from a game.
