I’m looking for story-heavy and/or artsy PC games with the same playing style as This War of Mine – but which won’t throw me into a pit of emotional despair.

Horror, sci-fi, and fantasy preferred, but I’m open to other themes too.

Thanks in advance!

I've been playing Dredge a lot. Good game, art style and music is nice. Can be a bit spooky for some but I enjoy it.

Is it spooky but hopeful, or spooky and dark?

I’ve read “Lovecraftian creatures” and now I am worried haha

There is no "in your face" type of horror. Most of the horror is environmental or you can see from afar.

The creatures are the best part haha. The good thing is it will slowly buildup so no worries. It might be on sale now.

I see! I was also thinking the graphics looked too… chirpy for an Amnesia-like experience haha

I’ll put it on my list. Thank you!
