A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

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!

Ghost Trick is a very twisty game, but a few of the twists had me tearing up.

Rime is hauntingly beautiful in a way that hits you as it finishes.

That Dragon, Cancer. Part game, part visual novel.

Have you played Plague Tale 1 and 2? I'm not considered a very emotional person, but the dynamic really got to me. Just a really solid game, enjoyable combat. They're two of the very few games I binged to completion.

Rakuen was the most recent game I played that did that for me

In Bindinc of Isaac you cry a lot.

But on a more serious note. The Life is Strange series can be very emotional, if you like the style of the games.

It was short and sweet but Planet of Lana got me in the feels a little bit.

Short and sweet sounds like my kind of game :P

Omori. If you don't cry when playing that game, you are a monster...

But more seriously, even though it's the best storytelling I've seen in ages, I wouldn't recommend it if you are depressed, that game hits hard.

They probably aren't your cup of tea but thought I'd add some more variety.

Final Fantasy XIV; an mmo with focus on story and the story arc from the past 9 years is wrapped up and brought me lots of tears.

Honkai Impact 3rd; ARPG gacha game (I know, I was skeptical) also with years of story following a relatively small cast of characters.
