I would point you to All Quiet in the Trenches, a game similar in vibe to This War of Mine. You lead a squad through the trenches (literally) in WWII from the German perspective, while attending to their needs and making sure they survive. Even though it's turn-based, the demo level I played was one of the most intense experiences I've had in a game in a long while.
I looked it up, and I love how it looks. I wish I was able to play the demo, so I’ll keep it on my Wishlist for now. Thanks for the great recommendation.
Gone Home was my first game of the emotional walking simulator game and it's stuck with me. Unpacking and that Dragon sounds very right up my alley. Thanks for the recommends!
Oh, if you ever need more recommendations, you know who to ask. I remember that Gone Home was either the first, or one of the first, games where I realized the games can just be focused on the story.
I remeber after playing gone home I went down a rabbit hole of those types of games. With vanishing of ethan carter, firewatch and edit finch. Such good games
Nice list. All of these games are modern classics.
Only a few of the modern classics, too.

Well this has nothing in common with narrative realism, the first game I think of is Kerbal space program.
Hey, close enough. Human really like sending people and stuff to space, right? Sounds pretty real to me, although, maybe a bit too green.
Wonderful article! Unpacking is one of my favorite indie games ever; I love how it tells a realistic story through a unique medium.
Exactly! Even as I wasn't a fan of the gameplay, I really like their unique storytelling.
Love this post! only heard of Papers, Please because of his Playdate game and it looks like a great game.
You gotta give it a try! It’s a very unique experience.
Thanks for your great work!
