Finally played Road 96 and I was hooked, finished it in three evenings, it was awesome!

I'm looking for recommendations of games with this main feature: replayability with different paths/choices that allows npc related story meta progression

Sorry for the convoluted description but hopefully you get what I mean. I don't remember playing a game with such a structure before, where you're playing different teenagers but meeting a recurring cast and seeing how they evolve. It was awesome, it's kind of a rogue lite, but also more story / visual novel focused.

I guess Hades would fit? But I'm not necessarily looking for games with more emphasis on the roguelike part, nor a fully story focused game like Life is Strange, just the right mix between the two 🤔

I think Pyre would fit as well, next to Hades. Pyre has a bit choice based difference between the story development in contrast to Hades, but it's still linear for the majority of the game.

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.
