Basically what the title says. I've only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.

Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.

EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I'm going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!

Red Dead Redemption 2 made me bawl my eyes out.

I may be a bit late to the party but The last of us 1&2 had a pretty emotional impact on me. The game is pretty brutal, in every meaning, but the overall experience and story telling is hard to top.

I highly recommend to not get spoiled and play it in order of release!

God of War: Ragnarok got me close to bawling. Father son moments always get me in movies and games, and this was one of the best.

I still need to play the first (rebooted) one. Also I game on PC, so I gotta wait for Sony to give the OK to the devs to port it over like they did woth the first one.

If you've ever experienced grief, then Gris. I still listen to the beautiful soundtrack regularly

Disco Elysium shattered me half a dozen times. Two moments in particular made me step away from my desk and go on a walk. It's the best-written game I've ever played.

Firewatch. Gorgeous, emotionally honest game that wrings you out.

Inside. More of a stressful, cathartic cry, but it applies.

Mass Effect 3 - but only if you play the first two. Incredible story that beats you over the head with yearning .

Ghost Trick is a very twisty game, but a few of the twists had me tearing up.
