I recommend 'and Roger'

If you have an hour, a few dollars, and some emotional fortitude to spare - I highly recommend playing and Roger.

It’s a game whose gradual revealing of it’s premise is a huge part of it’s impact so I’m going to be intentionally vague about What’s Going On In It. You wake up as a small girl with a mysterious man in your house. Through fairly simple button clicking and dragging interactions, you experience quite effectively their feelings and challenges they face.

It’s also quite emotionally affecting. There is a warning at the beginning which alerts would-be players that there is going to be some uncomfortable and potentially painful subject matter - and this warning is one well heeded.

I won’t say too much more, aside from if you are interested in game mechanics being used specifically to convey a person’s experience - spending an hour with and Roger is something I can’t recommend more highly.
