The Low Road is worth a closer look if you want narrative mystery, short game, emotional story, and strong atmosphere.

My issue with it, however, is that despite already being a relatively short game, I still feel like it takes a lot…I will say though that when you screwed up and got a bad ending that they were usually hilarious.Cool little PaC adventure game with a bit of mystery.Voice acting is better than most and the music suits the atmosphere of the game.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, casual filtered by single-player.
