When I was 20 I would have loved games like this that share experiences and deep truths.

Now that I'm a bit older I just want games that help me escape those experiences and deep truths.

Got a chronic illness at 2012, my closest lady friend died this year after a long battle with schizophrenia, and I'm just 26... yeah, I'm sure many people have it worse but after a while you can barely deal with your own baggage to be willing to imagine getting any more.

So yeah, escapism is the best thing there is around, if just to avoid going mad.
