I've been playing through Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass on Steam. It's 10.99 now but even at full price it's a gem.

Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass on Steam

One day, Jimmy looked inside.

store.steampowered.com

Jimmy is reminiscent of Earthbound, but adds its own spin - e.g., the main character can change into other characters and that mechanic is used to solve puzzles in the world map, and the game has horror elements. The game is very funny and well written.

It's a long ass game - I have over 30 hours in and it's still going.

The downsides are
a) There's no FAQ for this game, and it's hard as balls at some points.
b) It was made RPGMaker, so the controller support is a bit wonky (e.g. it only recognizes first connected controller, and if you use an xbox controller you need to turn off xbox controller support in steam.)
c) No cloud saves.

For the story, I’d say LISA is probably one of my favorite games, but it’s not for everyone.
For gameplay, Rimworld is a fun base building game that has sucked many hours from many lives. Risk of Rain, both the original and the sequel, are fantastic rougelikes that are made in ways that encourage replays. If you just want to relax and chill, Slime Rancher is Chao Garden levels of cute shit, highly recommended.
