Steam review snapshots
Due to being in first person perspective, you fully explore his mindset and the game takes some psychological turns.Nearly all topics are discussed here(but for the game itself), and the group members enjoy the atmosphere.(it does get confusing when you have simultanous talking/text at top & bottom of screen).The story, inspired by real-life experiences, is both relatable and deeply moving.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, rpg filtered by weird, single-player.
