Looking for emotional game recommendations (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

My favorite games are Omori, Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds. I cried for hours at the end of those games, and I think the common point in them is high-quality emotional writing and stellar OST (music really affect me) and my attachment to the characters.
I also found that my taste in movies was similar (Hana-bi by Takeshi Kitano is my favorite movie)
I've been trying to find something similar, so has anybody any recommendation?
I'd like to add that I basically hated Nier Automata (way too pretentious imo) and Before your Eyes (I wasn't a fan of the game concept, and found the story pretty weak), and really loved the horror aspects of Omori.
I also heard about To the moon, but games talking about disease are hard for me to enjoy

As an MGS fan I'm trying to get into death stranding but struggle to do so...

It took me a couple tries with DS too. The first few chapters don't do it justice but once you get past that it's just amazing.

It's worth it. Mads Mikkelsen and Léa Seydoux should have won awards for best supporting actor(s). Emily O'Brien had some tearjerker parts too. It's far more than the sum of its parts.
