#1
MiSide
Shared: Multiple Endings, Short Playthrough
The dating-sim wrapper is bait, and MiSide knows it. What starts as idle chores with an anime girl becomes a genre-hopping psychological horror that two developers built better than most studios manage with a full team.

#2
Undertale
92
Shared: Multiple Endings, Short Playthrough
A 6-8 hour RPG that quietly asks whether you actually need to kill anything, then spends its entire runtime making you feel the answer either way.

#3
Hollow Knight: Silksong
90
Shared: Multiple Endings
Six years of memes and broken promises evaporated the moment I dropped into Pharloom. Hornet is a razor-sharp upgrade in every direction, and Team Cherry somehow delivered on the hype.

Doki Doki Literature Club!
Shared: Multiple Endings
Free, short, and deeply unsettling: DDLC wears the costume of a pastel dating sim and uses it as a weapon against you. Go in knowing nothing.

#5
OMORI
87
Shared: Multiple Endings
Pastel sketchbook exteriors hiding a gut-punch story about grief, guilt, and four years of a locked bedroom door. One of the rare indie RPGs where the mechanics and the narrative are actually saying the same thing.
