What’s the best narrative-driven indie game you’ve played?

I’m always on the lookout for indie games with great storytelling. There are so many out there, but I’m curious to hear about the ones that really stick with you. Whether it’s emotional depth, clever writing, or unique character development, which indie titles do you think stand out as having the best narratives?

Indie games like Gris, Celeste, and To the Moon have incredibly moving and unique narratives that linger long after playing.

Kentucky Route Zero affected me profoundly with its magical realist portrayal of economic hardship in rural America. Rather than conventional branching narratives, it focuses on how players shape character perspectives and emotional tones. Its integration of theater, music, and interactive fiction creates a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after completion. No game better demonstrates how interactive storytelling can be genuinely poetic.
