Digital - A Love Story and its not so close successor Hate Plus. These are digital novels. The former is a story set in a cozy 80s BBS network and the other in an archeological space ship retelling stories related to old Korea. Both touched me very much.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Ratchet and Clank (into the) nexus on ps3 is like a 5 hour game. It also nicely ties into the latest game if you've yet to play that
Resident Evil 7 & 8. Seven sets a new protagonist in a series reboot sort of way, so you might miss some Easter eggs and callbacks but playing the previous games AT ALL. Its meant to be an entry point in the series.

Journey is a game that has stuck with me for the past ten years. It took me an hour and a half to complete.
INSIDE is one of my favorite games of any length
Stranded Sails can't have been much longer than that.
Braid is deffo under ten.
If you're good enough, Vanquish.

I just played through the entirety of Storyteller in one sitting but had a riot of a time with a few friends. I think I spent about 2-3 hours finishing the campaign and will probably spend about another hour finishing the last of the achievements when I next take a crack at it.
Spec Ops: The Line is $6 on steam right now, it's one of the few games I would call a masterpiece. I was able to finish it in two sittings, it's the perfect length and it's so damn good
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is another masterpiece, $4.50 on steam right now, an absolute crime that a game as beautiful as that is that cheap. You gotta make sure you're wearing headphones when you play it
Spec Ops: The Line was a surprise. The name sounds like a B level shooter. Powerful ending.
That's its greatest asset, and its downfall. It looks, sounds, and plays like the most generic "Americans in the middle east fighting brown people" mid 2000s shooter, and it was entirely on purpose. I implore anyone reading this who's at all into third person shooters to stop reading, pick up the game, and pretend you're the target audience of a game called "Spec Ops" while you're playing. It's $6 on steam, it's over a decade old so you can definitely run it, and it takes like 8 hours to beat.
And pay attention to the loading screen tips, especially in the latter half of the game.

Take a look at Contrast, a 5 hours narrative platforming game with pretty visuals an concept
Cultic!
I think it will be longer eventually when more chapters get added, but right now it clocks in at about 6 hours I think. Well worth the money.
Small saga
Journey is one of my favourite short games.
