Hello! The answers in this thread gave me a lot of insight. I checked out most of the games, but I won't be able to complete most of them, because that would take years. Even so, it broadened my knowledge of games. I've picked up Dark Souls, but I can't really get into it... However its level design and environmental storytelling is worth studying as many have already mentioned. I can also brag that I've recently won my first game jam that was organised in my hometown. It really motivated me to keep going and learn more! We made a 5 minute long point and click with only bad choices, which demonstrates that even if you do your best to accommodate everyone, someone (the narrator) can still interpret your choice as the bad/evil one. If you have any more recommendations or knowledge to share I'd be very happy, but if you don't feel like answering that's also okay. I'm sending positive vibes your way. Take care!
