Eastward? I actually learned about this game on lemmy a year or two ago.

I thought the pixel graphics were incredible, gave the game such a beautifully creepy atmosphere when it needed it. Even though I was really disappointed that the game just ended without tying any of the story together, I did think the story was great before I finished it. At times the game was unsettling and eerie and at other times it was heartwarming, and the dialogue throughout seemed very well-written.

A genre of movie that I like I term "Cube"-like movies. " Platform" and "Circle" are included, along with all the "Cube" movies.

Any suggestions?

There's Exam but it's not as good as the movies you mentioned. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1258197/

Also, slightly unrelated but for some reason ticks the same boxes in my mind, The Game https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0119174/

I've watched Exam, I forgot to include it but you're right, same genre. I've watched The Game but I'm going to rewatch it with my adult son who hasn't seen it to feel out there similarities you're getting.

Hard for me to define the similarities. Maybe the feeling that you don't really know any of the characters' motivations. The overall vibe maybe

I started listening to Look Mum No Computer after watching some of his tech videos on YT, he does a lot of synth stuff and it opened up a whole new world of music that I've been loving. If anyone has some similar stuff let me know!
