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!
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.

Been avoiding this one since I had the game spoiled for me forever ago. I feel like I should also play ICO.
SotC is still worth playing even if spoiled - for me it’s about the overarching feeling through the entire experience that is really special. Very lonely and isolating but beautiful and tragic.
ICO I tried to replay recently but found it too clunky, but that’s probably because I don’t often play retro games so don’t have the feel for them anymore. I did love it when I played it decades ago though.
Also, definitely add The Last Guardian to this list. It’s incredibly unique, and I absolutely loved the aspects of it that frustrate some people - just try to think of it like you’re trying to communicate with an actual animal, not a game.
