I've made some things for you, dearest Steamgifter; You see them laid out before you in the moonlight. But before you look at the little handcrafted treasures I have for sale, let's talk about them for a bit, shall we? It won't take long. Here, sit down beside me. And do come a little closer, I won't hurt you. Except... You've seen the title of this thread, and I suspect you know that's not strictly true... is it?

Just a small assortment of games that've made me tear up, or come close to. Experiences worth sharing. Come one, come all, and take a pick. (Was gonna include more, but I'm literally out of money and too impatient to wait until getting more to make this thread)

Game Description Price
Life Is Strange Beautiful aesthetics and music. Really interesting characters, and an intriguing plot. A true adventure awaits you 20P
Gone Home + Original Soundtrack Quiet journey through a mysteriously abandoned house. More like reading a book than playing a game. Don't rush it, walk around, pay attention to every little detail and let the story tell itself naturally. More than worth it. 25P
Dragon Age: Origins Okay, it's an RPG, but the story remains great and immersive. It can really pull you into its world. Good for some escapism 20P
To The Moon Everything about this game is haunting(except maybe the graphics). The soundtrack, the story, the characters, will all stay with you long after it's done. 10P
The Wolf Among Us If Life is Strange was a Noire, I guess? Gritty and dark, and with the as always brilliant Telltale writing 25P
A Bird Story You can't actually make a GA for this one, so the key is hidden behind a puzzle. First come first served Solved! Though I guess you can still try it for fun and satisfaction if you want. But the key is gone ?P

*Thread idea shamelessly stolen from Stephen King's book of the (almost) same name.

"Life is gone" actually sounds like a game title that could have a really interesting story that could go several different directions.

What a terrific Bazaar, thank you so much!

Here's my next favorite bazaar, in my hometown; it's decidedly more happy than sad, tho

Could you write the solution?

The title of the puzzle is "Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen - Good Time", so you should go to that video. Then look for the comment by I Am A Turtle(xkcd 889, also referenced by the link to the game from here) -- you can use ctrl-f to find it or set comments to "Newest First"(the general hint). It says 2:28-2:32, so you should simply write what is said in the video between those 4 seconds "Doesn't matter where, it's always a good time there"

Great games! I just recently completed Life Is Strange and it's one of my favorite games of all time. I also really enjoyed Gone Home, To The Moon, and A bird Story. I haven't played Dragon Age yet and don't own The Wolf Among Us, so thanks for the giveaway :)

The Wolf Among Us is really similar to Life is Strange in how it plays, and it has the same high quality writing so you should like it I think. Although the story is quite completely different. Have you played the other Telltale games? Oh, and Dragon Age is really different to the others and I'm not sure it belongs here, but it is a brilliant story and it is sad so I went with it.

Nice, nice, nice! Thanks for the gibs! The description makes me think you play Fallen London or Sunless sea?

Nope, although I think Sunless Sea is on my wishlist. The description is nicked straight from the SK book though :p

The Wolf Among a Bird Story sounds like it would be a cutesy thing like an orphan wolf that makes friends with a bird.
