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

Just finished the game (and yes it includes solstice) and I loved it! I don't know if it will be as memorable for me as the other games I mentioned but it was definitely very enjoyable. Thank you! Small note tho, getting some puzzles to work on linux were kind of a pain

Oh wow you got through quicker than I. I'm glad. At least now you've met Niko!

I'm not surprised there were Linux issues tbh. With some of the mechanics involved I'm surprised you managed to complete it at all. Truly this might be one of those real unsupported steam deck games if you really want the solstice ending

Niko may be the cutest protagonist Ive ever played. Everything worked really well until the solstice where I had some trouble, stuff like:

transparency, and getting _____ to actually run
