Okay y'all, game recommendations wanted. Ideally:

- Has primary verbs other than "shoot" or "stab".
- Is emotionally interesting
- Doesn't look like mud.

Bonus:
- Is gay
- Is less than $10

Put another way:
If the last three games that I found had a lasting impact were We Know The Devil, Undertale, and Night in the Woods, what should I play next?

Gosh y'all have a lot of really good suggestions and I've already played most of them. Will definitely have to check out some of the others <3

(this thread brought to you by: I bought Shadow of Mordor for like five bucks but that game is frustrating and it turns out eviscerating orcs makes me feel kinda gross right now)

Looks like Ladykiller in a Bind is the first of your game recommendations I'll be playing! It was already on my list, and I guess I'm finally in the mood for something porn-y.

Oh my gosh this game is adorable and funny and good.

Update: "funny" has been updated to "made me laugh so hard I had to go lie down for a minute".

@starkatt i can think of a bunch of text adventures but not a lot else comes immediately to mind. please keep me in the loop on your findings

@Fuego Already played it. Maybe it should have gone on the list. Thanks!

@starkatt oxenfree? I haven't played it yet but it matches your criteria and people say super good stuff about it.

Kentucky Route Zero is awesome and they donated to TransRelief too!!!

@starkatt

I had a weird time with it on PS4 but now I think I'm ready to tackle it again

@starkatt Hadean Lands (text adventure), Talos Principle, Fool's Errand.

@starkatt Night. In. The. Woods. OMG. I loved that game so much!! Emotional gutpunch though.

Slime Rancher is kinda cute and fun, though pretty early on, last I played.

The others I'd recommend have already been shared. ^^

@starkatt OH!!

If you haven't already played it: The Stanley Parable.
