Webbed. You play as a peacock spider (with lasers) trying to save your boyfriend. The bug designs are actually really cute.

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.

What remains of Edith Finch, a very emotional and wonderful game, short and bitter sweet.
I'd go so far to even gift it to people. Outer Wilds make you feel small and huge at the same time.
Opus: The Day We Found Earth, another great short one.
I think Cocoon will fit in 10 hours. It did for me.
A bit old, but gold: Fate (the dungeon crawler one). It's a bit low-poly by today's standards, but it's so fun and has killer music, lots of spells and weapons, tons of interesting enemies and can be beaten in like 6 hours.
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
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.
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.
If you wanna have some nostalgia for 2000s era AOL chatrooms you ahould try Emily is Away Too
Hypnospace outlaw also keeps some of this similar nostalgia alive and now I want to go check out this one for even more of it

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.
Small saga
What Remains of Edith Finch is a game in this category that really left an impression. Would definitely recommend a playthrough.
