Any other narrative heavy indie gems like this?

[Lametta]

Watched some gameplay and im already 100% sure that i will like this game but would like other suggestions. Unfortunately narrative heavy games are very rare imo.

Thinking about maybe buying Norsco and In other Waters (by the same dev)
Didnt know about citizen sleeper. in other waters and Norsco until they put it on sale...

So yeah i want you to dig deep and hit me with some great hidden gems.

Already played games like: Disco Elysium, Detroit become human (and games by that dev) if that even counts, many FMV games like Her Story, games like Edith Finch.

I would recommend the Zero Escape Trilogy(I believe they are currently discounted) for narrative heavy and great puzzles.

Going off my own gaming library, some possible story-heavy games for you to look into:

Pretty much everything by the company "Choice Of Games", which specializes in this type of game.

Card Cowboy
Foretales
Growing Up
I Was a Teenage Exocolonist
The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante
Long Live the Queen
Yes, Your Grace

And the general Steam tags that will probably be most fruitful:

Choices Matter
Choose Your Own Adventure
Interactive Fiction
Story Rich
Visual Novel

If you're looking for narrative heavy slice of life I'd really recommend Fallen London, browser game. New content is poorly done and far between for non-subscribers but it'll take a few years of scrounging secrets, forging alliances, writing poetry and fighting rats for the contents of your pantry (watch out, they're armed) for you to be able to tell.

Kentucky Route Zero is narrative heavy and very well made. A bit slow, but worth checking out.
If you liked Disco Elysium, then Planescape: Torment might be something.
The Infectious Madness of Dr Dekker is an fmv with text input - quite good and a bit odd, but you could call it narrative heavy.

Crying Suns is a decent sci-fi game with a fairly high emphasis on the story.
Return of the Obra Dinn, might be interesting too. Haven't gotten very far in that one though.

The Tell Tales game are also narrative heavy. Depends what you mean and exactly what you're looking for. Lots of reading or just story heavy?

These games are also my favorites. I recommend:
- The Red Strings Club (Suuuuuuper cool cyberpunk Indie game, takes about 3 hours to play through but is replayable)
- Paradise Killer (lets you get your detective hat on)
- Life is Strange (high school mystery, drama, time travel, etc.)
- Return of the Obra Dinn (one of the most unique story-driven games ever!)
- Night in the Wood (this one was funky but the story fell kinda flat)
- Oxenfree (very tame horror with cool plot hook and choices mattering)

Roadwarden springs to mind here in my opinion.

+1 Return of the Obra Dinn

Easily one of the most incredible games ever made. Definitely falls into that "I wish I could forget this so I could experience it all over again" thing.

[DHARMAJI]

Couple of sci-fi/ cyberpunk options to consider: Neo-Cab (also from Fellow Traveller, I think) and Cloudpunk. Both had a similar vibe, I thought, to Citizen Sleeper while being their own thing.

I would recommend Norco. Amazing story and artwork. The vibe and soundtrack are very similar.
