Doesn't have to be sci-fi or a walking simulator, although few or no enemies is definitely a selling point for me. I'll be playing The Talos Principle, Outer Wilds, and Firewatch next.

i added this to my steam wishlist last week along with The Witness. completely forgot about it! i try to wait until they're on sale like The Station was for $3.74 (if it wasn't so short it would be worth full price imo)

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. If you keep up with Epic's free games, you should have this one. Be warned that there's some spooky bits in it though.

Deliver us the Moon was an incredible short indiegame. It made me tear up at a couple points.

Oh, speaking of depressing games that make you cry, Telltale's The Walking Dead. This was (is?) Telltale's whole genre.

Aside from TWD, A Wolf Among Us is great and I've heard good things about their Borderlands and Batman games.

Gone Home
Oxenfree
Afterparty (from the people who made Oxenfree! - but Oxen is better)
If you want Horror-y games, the Dark Pictures games are pretty enjoyable, though I think they're kind of overpriced.
Night Trap... isn't very good, but is kind of fun in a campy B-movie way, and has like, a classic cult following.

Life is Strange 1 is really good, and True Colors is meant to be really good as well. 2 didn't seem to do numbers.

They're only small games, but the Subsurface games are pretty good. They're dialogue tree games by the same devs as Thomas Was Alone, I've played Subsurface Circular and I really enjoyed it.

Night in the Woods is an absolute must-play as well. It's about 6 hours long, very character-focused and very atmospheric and poignant.

I'm playing a game right now called In Sound Mind, it was free on the Epic store a few weeks ago that's basically what you're asking for. You're a psychiatrist and you go into past patients' psyches to try to unravel a mystery surrounding a chemical that makes people fearful/paranoid. Has metroidvania elements. It has a few enemies every so often but you can sneak past them and they're not tough to kill

Really a unique, well-made and just neat game. Terribly optimized but that's about the only critique of it I have

^You mentioning a psychiatrist made me remember a bunch of FMV games.

Her Story is probably the best one because it actually has an ending. The premise is that you're investigating an old murder investigation using interrogation tapes from a woman named Hannah. The files were corrupted, so you can only watch short clips and you don't have a list of them. You can only find new clips by searching for key words. So as you go through the videos, you find new clues that you can search for to unlock new clips.

Contradiction is an enjoyingly campy murder mystery. The only flaw is that they ran out of money, so the ending is a little abrupt.

The Infectious Madness of Dr. Dekker has you taking the role of a psychiatrist taking on the practice of the late Dr. Dekker. There are a number of patients all with their own delusions (or are they delusions?) and you end up trying to figure out just who killed your predecessor.

Are pure VNs okay?

If so, I'll always recommend The House in Fata Morgana. It's excellent, and easily one of my favorite games of all time.

Ohh I keep meaning to play that one. Looked like it could be cool.

Another game I forgot about is Californium.
