    “That Dragon, Cancer” made me stop halfway through, not because I was stuck on a puzzle, but because I was crying so hard I couldn’t see the screen.

    “Papa y Yo” made me understand how it feels to be the child of an alcoholic parent, on a really visceral level.

    “Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture” is emotional in the fullest sense of the word—it made me feel a full range of emotions over the course of its characters.

      Oh, and you’re right about ”Gone Home”. People say it’s not really a horror game but I was absolutely terrified going up to the attic at the end, because I thought I knew what I would find there. Thankfully I was wrong.
