I'm looking for games that make me feel small and insignificant (sh.itjust.works)

Pretty much, I'm looking for a game where I'm not the hero, I'm not the protagonist, I'm just a pawn in the big picture.

Preferably a game with a big open world too, one that feels real and isn't just a predetermined path for my player.

I also like games where you aren't clearly stronger than all your opponents like you're some sort of God so they actually feel intimidating and there is a fear of dying

All suggestions are welcome

Thanks :>

Disco Elysium (currently on HB Choice), you're a drunk cop trying to solve a case while trying to keep yourself together

Just pirate the game if you want to play it though, as the creators encourage.

Literally my first thought too. Such a great unique game. You as the player character are insignificant but you're not boring or bland.

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.
