Those kind of games are not exactly my cuppa tea either but I've quite enjoyed Dear Esther, Oxenfree and Firewatch - only about an hour into the latter but it looks promising. Didn't like the teen angst angle of Life is Strange (I have a 19yo son and that's more drama than I can handle, thank you very much) nor the time rewinding gimmick so I never managed to finish it. Still playing and loving every minute of Hitman 2016, a very strong candidate for GOTY as far as I'm concerned.
