    Thanks for reminding me of the Crimson Room series! I spent hours playing through that series back on my dad's old family computer. In the same vein of escape room series, MOTAS and Submachine come to mind as long narratives over several flash modules from the same period.

    Submachine is playable on the developers website, but looks like a HD collection is releasing on Steam later this year, which is a nice surprise. It's always gave me somewhat creepy vibes despite the lack of intended horror.

    MOTAS, or Mystery of Time and Space, was a flash game that was continually updated where you went through several levels that ended up interconnecting on later levels. While it was never finished, there were 20 levels when I last played in the late 2000s. As a flash game, it seems this is now sadly abandonware.

    I also played a bunch of japanese RGPMaker games that got fan translations in the 2010s, but most have updated official releases these days (Ib, Yume Nikki, Mad Father, The Crooked Man, etc). However, there are some like Mermaid Swamp and Palette that have yet to see releases (and probably never will) that you can download from this site.

    Have you looked into Melatonin? It's essentially Rhythm Heaven with synthwave aesthetic and music. It sounds like it'd be up your alley.

    If you enjoyed Nier Automata, I'd definitely recommend Nier Replicant. It deep dives into mature themes like Automata, including humanity, self-loaathing, the nature of evil, and more. It also has connecting lore to Automata (especially in new ending) as they are set in the same world at different time periods.

    For similar games like it, Omori is a turn-based RPG with dark themes and tons of hand-drawn art that was easily one of my favorites last year. It's a slow burn, but similar feel to Undertale with much darker themes. Oxenfree is point-and-click adventure that is a slow burn sci-fi horror with great narrative around the characters and main sci-fi mystery.

    And while I haven't played them yet, ANNO: Mutationem, Night in the Woods, Scarlet Hollow, and Beacon Pines are in my Steam library and seem to have similar storytelling vibes.

    What a great list! I'll definitely check several of these out. I'm a huge fan of picross puzzle too - Pictopix, Picross Touch, and Voxelgram (3D picross) are a few of my favorites on Steam.

    I'm glad someone else has this category too (though I have them marked "Casual Games" on Steam). Some of my favorites are:

    • Powerwash Simulator
    • Coloring Game 2 (since you can import images to color by pixel)
    • Many many picross/nonogram puzzle games (Picross Touch and Voxelgram being my most played)
