Recommend me narrative-driven games! [GAs ended]

Other telltale games are awesome, every single one ;)
Also try out D4

There are alot more but these games are pretty close to the games you played...

• The Witcher 1-3
• Fallout 3, 4 and "New Vegas"

If u want alot of stories to read and choices etc. you should take a look at

• Sunless Sea; not a game for everyone...

The Stanley Parable. A unique brilliant game that will have you questioning your sanity when you're finished with it entirely. Do try it!

The first thing that comes to mind when seeing "narrative-driven" is Oxenfree.

As for "Story-driven", that's a bit different. Oxenfree fits that category, but it's not the best story-wise. If you're into visual novel, Lucid9 is a free to play Steam VN which was pretty fantastic in my opinion, although not all that impressive (Katawa Shoujo isn't on Steam but it's pretty great too, probably beats Lucid9 in term of writing quality, and definitely in content - L9 is a semi-kinetic novel while KS is not).

Dishonored is a great game, and the story isn't too bad. If you haven't played it yet, I highly recommend it.
Dust: An Elysian Tail is a game I played a long time ago. It's short and simple, but the story was pretty good if I recall correctly.
Mark of the Ninja is a game with nice mechanics and a nice twist of a story.
SOMA is a freaking awesome horror game with an amazing story. Needs a good PC to run though.
I've heard good things about the story in Valkyria Chronicles, but could never experience it myself because I suck at the game. Unbeatable for me. ;_;
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is confusing, dark, and beautiful. Needs a decent PC to run.
fault - milestone one is another VN I played. It's okay, and offers a nice twist in the story as well.
Spec Ops: The Line will make you question your forced decisions as the leader of a party of soldiers. It's kind of a strange game.
To the Moon is a very nice RPG Maker game with a bittersweet story.
Papo & Yo is a relaxing little game with a story which is a bit darker than I had expected.

And I guess that's my list! ^^

Kentucky Route Zero (Episodic, 4/5 episodes out currently but waits in between are long )
Oxenfree
Firewatch
Dishonored
Also Dark Souls while not everyone's cup of tea. Is one of the best stories in a game I've experienced, just requires a lot of piecing together.

Looking for these as well so I will keep an eye on this discussion for sure.
Already mentioned but Dark Dreams don't Die and Oxenfree are must play games for you I think.

Well, if you're looking for good narrative experience, you should probably pay attention to point-and-click games. Gabriel Knight games have recently arrived to Steam, all three are brilliant story-wise (and in other aspects as well), The Beast Within simply put has the best story I've ever seen in games since I'd started gaming 20 years ago; I hope you don't mind dated graphics. The other old masterpiece with amazing story is Grim Fandango, the remaster is on Steam as well. The Longest Journey saga started 17 years ago and evolved from a classic point-and-click adventure to a modern interactive movie, but the story author remained the same, so all the 3 games are totally worth playing.
As for modern games (and aside from TellTale interactive movies and walking simulators), if you don't mind pixel art, I'd advise Wadjet Eye games, they are yet to release a game with a mediocre story (once again, these are classic point-and-click adventure games); Primordia is my favourite. If you've got nothing against horror, there are two Polish games with really deep stories and pretty casual gameplay, The Cat Lady and Downfall.

If you don't mind your story driven games providing you some challenge and metal scarring then go with LISA. The base game ruined me completely on an emotional ground and I've started playing The Joyful, but it was way too much for me at the time. Heard that the DLC is short tho, so I'm definitely not dropping it, I just need time...

I've recently played The Sliver Moon and The Music Machine, both are great (especially the music machine) but they are quite short (about 1 hour per game). Another one I really loved is Masochisia but it is quite disturbing (for once the warning when you launch the game should be taken seriously). And in free-to-play : Emily is away and the static speaks my name.

It may be surprising for you, but The Darkness 2 is heavily story oriented, despite it being an almost arcade-y shooter, I really recommend it to you. Not playing the first one is not a problem, narrator tells the important bits :)

Check out Contrast. Thought it was fantastic.

Since you liked Gone Home a lot, one game I'd highly recommend is Firewatch. This game really elevates the first-person narrative driven experience in my opinion.

Metal Gear Solid 1. Shouldn't be a problem to emulate it. Or if you really can't stand PSOne graphics, get Twin Snakes and emulate it also, in proper widescreen and 60 fps. Luckily both are emulated almost flawlessly.

My top 3: Life is Strange, To The Moon and Oxenfree. As you already played the first one, I recommend you to check the other two.

If you're okay with JRPG-style games, I can't recommend Undertale and Trails in the Sky highly enough. Undertale's kind of a truncated RPG, while Trails is a slow burn with lots of worldbuilding. Both have excellent characters and writing.

And yeah, To the Moon is also great.

Thank you for making this topic. I've been craving these games lately. The ones you named above are some of my favorites but I have some suggestions that hopefully fit your theme. Sorry for the long post and repeats if people said these already.

Tales From The Borderlands: Trust me when I say you don't have to like or even know anything about Borderlands to play this game. It's one of if not the best Telltale game. Since you listed other Telltale games I suggest giving this one a try.

Lisa: This one is an RPG-Maker game but it blends comedy and sorrow perfectly and it's pretty unforgettable.

Alan Wake: It may feel a little outdated now but I played this when it first came on Xbox 360 and it had an intriguing story. The story is very similar to a Stephen King novel and what the game lacks in gameplay, it makes up in narrative.

Ori And The Blind Forest: There isn't much dialogue or cutscenes past the first part, but it has a beautiful story and it is an amazing game. The story had me in tears from start to finish.

The Beginner's Guide: This one is the definition of narrative. It follows the developer as he throws you into various unfinished games from a fictional developer, and by the time you finish you'll have all kinds of theories and questions in your head. I would also suggest Stanley Parable, but that one is less linear with it's story.

199x: a cute and cheap RPG-Maker game that has a unique premise and a sad story. Not as good as Lisa but worth the price.

Kentucky Route Zero: Can't really explain this much. it's a point and click game that is full of adventure and mystery. When playing you feel as if you are supposed to go with the flow and accept the world this game has set up for you.

Murdered: Soul Suspect: Okay this one is not THAT good but if you got in the $1 Humble Bundle it's worth a play. You mostly interactive with items until the story gets pieced together as you play a ghost detective who has to solve his own murder.

To The Moon: I'm sure you've heard of this one. It's a very moving story and there isn't much in terms of gameplay but a lot with heartfelt story.

Brothers- A Tale Of Two Sons: I still haven't finished this one but I've only heard the best and the story is supposed to be very emotional.

Fran Bow: You play a girl named Fran who, after finding her murdered parents, ends up in a mental hospital. Follow Fran as you delve into her insanity and question what is real and what is in her head. The ONLY gripe I have about this game is that it starts strong and grows weak towards the end. Other then that great game.

There are many more I could suggest but I figured this is long enough and these were on my mind. Good luck!

Any point 'n' click/interactive movie game? TellTale nowadays pretty much creates television miniseries where you can control when the story progresses by moving to the next area, so they are as narrative-driven as you can get without turning into an actual video file.

Daedalic Entertainment has a pretty good catalogue of narrative-oriented point 'n' clicks, from high fantasy to pitch black comedy.

If you want it more indie, look up the library of Wadjet Eye games. Their flagship title, Blackwell, will especially string a few chords if you watched the television series called Ghost Whisperer.

Alan Wake is narrative-focused as hell, especially near the beginning and in the real ending. (Although it has a few uncomfortably action-oriented chapters.) Its story is also like Stephen King, only this is actually good. (And it has a standalone expansion disk which is like Stephen King… and the sentence stops here.)

You can never really make a mistake by (re)playing Deus Ex 1 as well.
Or Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.

If you don'rt mind skipping 30 hours worth of pointless collection quest, the central campaign of L.A. Noire is almost nothing but narrative. (And one of the most unrealistic portrayal of police work ever, but I guess it is part of the Rockstar charm.) If you like classic noirs, it is a story for you.
A similar thing could be said about Mafia. The first one. (Or, if we want to be extreme: the only one.)

The second recent Shadowrun game of the original creator's cRPG trilogy, Dragonfall, is driven by its own narrative, that is the main focus, the combat system came second.

If you want nothing but narrative, then the 39 Steps. It was a freebie a few times, so it is easy to get a key for it.

And, naturally, there are the recent indie classic, like To the Moon or The Last Door.

I can really recommend Spec-Ops: The Line. It ain't a "deep" story while playing it, but some sort of plot twist at the end makes you rethink everything you have done/has happened during the playthrough which is why I personally really liked the game :)

Metro2033 - haven't played the story myself but IF(!) the game is as good as the book it's worth it ^-^

I also really liked Dishonored (but I guess that's more a gameplay thing then.. even though the story wasn't real bad either)
Maybe one of these three got your attention ;D I guess I should stop now since I don't have that many awesome story recommendations cries in spanish

Planet of the Eyes.

Firewatch was one of the best games I have played in years and thoroughly recommend it.

I'd also recommend the recently released One Night Stand for something cheap and short yet still worth playing.

I just finished playing telltale game Jurassic park. It had a fun and interesting story. It also had some twist like The wolf among us.
Firewatch, Deponia series, Alan wake, The Darkness 2, The Stanley Parable, Portal 1 & 2, Dishonored 1 & 2.....

Leaving out stuff that's already been suggested:

• 80 Days
• Digital: A Love Story (free, non-Steam)
• Hatoful Boyfriend (yes, really)
• Long Live the Queen
• Narcissu 1st & 2nd (free, prepare the tissues)
• Papers, Please
• To Be or Not to Be (if you want comedy)
