Looking for games that will make me cry (lemmy.sdf.org)

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!

This may be from a different angle, but here are two games about grief:
Spiritfarer
That Dragon: Cancer
Reply All did a truly heart-wrenching episode on the second one.

came here to say spirit farer. that game is responsible for normalizing me hugging my spouse for no reason besides it feels good. Also definitely made me cry more than pretty much any other work of fiction in any medium.
