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!

Plague Tale (Both games are solid, but 2 was sooooo good)

Rakuen was the most recent game I played that did that for me

It was short and sweet but Planet of Lana got me in the feels a little bit.

Rime is hauntingly beautiful in a way that hits you as it finishes.

Telltale Games Walking Dead. Not a game, but a whole series.

That Dragon, Cancer. Part game, part visual novel.

Death Stranding

Papers, Please. Maybe not crying, but could definitely put you into a depressed mood if you manage to get into character. Needing to make a choice between letting some poor bastard's wife follow him without proper papers and feeding your family is tough.

Had a quick scroll through and didn't see it anywhere yet, so:

Dear Esther.

Actually, reminds me I should play through it again, it's been a few years.

Titanfall 2... Goodness that ending had my kiddo misty eyed. As for me, there was dust in my hand room or my allergies were acting up.

Persona 4 Golden is a beautiful game that made me emotional more than once.

Portal 2. But you should play the first part before sequel, if you haven't already.

Haven't actually played it yet but a video about MOTHER 3 made me cry just talking about the story (not only that but the part where he talked about the story made me a little emotional)

Here is the video btw

You may already know it but Omori was heavily inspired by the mother series and especially Mother 3: https://twitter.com/_omocat/status/1384687971929006080
