If you took a classic Japanese-style role-playing game and stripped it of all the traditional gameplay mechanics—experience points, equippable weapons and armor, usable items, and even combat itself—what exactly would you be left with? And more importantly, could this-stripped down experience actually be compelling?
In the case of indie game To The Moon, the answer is surprisingly, yes. Though it can only loosely be described as a game—it's more of a long, mildly interactive cut scene—To The Moon's story and writing are so well done that it's still worth venturing through, even if you won't gain any experience points.

Some games hit people hard. Which is a relief when people need to let emotions out. So settle in with these seven games.
