Retro Urban Fantasy games? (sopuli.xyz)

I became interested in this genre after watching a youtuber cover a few FMV adventure games inspired by Vampire: The Masquerade. A google search turned up no results so I wanted to ask the community here for recommendations.

I'm looking for any fun or interesting retro games in this style, the more vampires wandering city blocks the better.

Also as a side question I would love to know any tools you use for game discovery - google just turns up pages of auto generated "50 games like" lists.

Does EarthBound count? It's sort of a sci-fi fantasy story which mostly takes place in a contemporary western setting (most of the game occurs in Eagleland, America filtered via Japan). There's ancient evils, pay phones, psychic powers, a cafe, a bunch of zombies and a multi-level mall. Not all of the game is urban, with suburban, rural, swamp and alien areas, but there's several cities to explore.
