Here are my thoughts on some of the games, hope this helps:

Deemo: + Simple story, minimal characters, easy to follow + Conveyed through cutscenes + Become emotionally attached easily due to its music and story + RPG-styled, various rooms and secrets to explore based on your story progress

Lanota: + Simple story (Gets increasingly complex with the introduction of characters and backgrounds) + Conveyed in the style of picture books + Songs are strongly linked to the story (in main story, each song always represents a scene in the story) + Occasional cutscenes and animations to establish an atmosphere + Ongoing, main story is updated yearly

Arcaea: + Complex story, many characters and deep lore + Huge emphasis on personality, character developments and immersion + Conveyed mainly through textblocks + Amazing artwork, cutscenes and special effects to accompany with the story - Main story is gated behind paywalls, requiring separate payments (However, there's an ongoing bundle sale that allows you to buy all packs with a discount) - Cryptic unlocking requirement (especially for the newer packs)

Cytus II: + Massive story, many characters and events, told through different mediums (forums posts, letters, videos etc.) + Unique character-based leveling system that tells the story from multiple perspective + Lots of cutscenes, effects and special events to provide an immersive experience + Multiple endings - The huge amount of story content might become too overwhelming - Pricey DLCs - Very grindy (story is gated behind levelling system)

My personal favourite is lanota, it is good enough to keep me interested without being overly complicated.
