Getting hold of Devotion takes some effort since it is not on mainstream storefronts, and I want to be upfront about that before recommending it. It is worth the inconvenience. Red Candle Games built something that uses the conventions of first-person horror exploration and fills them with domestic tragedy, fractured memory, and religious imagery that feels genuinely oppressive rather than decorative. You are walking through a family's apartment as it keeps resetting and shifting, and what the game is actually doing to you takes a while to fully register. Runs about four to five hours. No combat. Every moment of dread comes from what happened in these rooms, not from anything chasing you through them.

Devotion is the most difficult recommendation on this list to make, and I am making it anyway. The game is only available through the developer's own storefront after a complicated removal from Steam, which means some extra friction to get your hands on it. That matters and I will not pretend it does not. What you get on the other side of that friction is a first-person horror game set in 1980s Taiwan, built around a family unraveling under grief, faith, and pressure, with environmental storytelling that is among the best the genre has produced. The domestic horror of a home turning in on itself hits differently than monster-in-the-dark setups. Worth chasing down if you have the patience for a slightly non-standard purchase.
