Do Any of You Have a Game That Permanently Altered Your Life?

For me personally it was probably Life is Strange 1&2...

My brother introduced it to me when I was a bit younger and I used to watch gameplays of it on yt until I was finally able to play it myself and man, that was such a life-changing experience for me.

Both games are amazing in their own ways in my opinion, not THE best games but still awesome!

sounds kinda generic but i would say Persona 3 portable , i was in some depression episodes for months and i saw a random image on a meme , playing the entire thing made me feel joy for days and even starting to get back on track

Personally, I'd have to say the Five Nights at Freddy games. Not necessarily for the games themselves but more so as it was what got me into watching Game Theory more. I would usually have them on the background when I was a kid but their first FNaF video (even if it isn't good) was what got me into the game and into theorizing. Without it I don't know if I would have ever got into theorizing in general for anything. FNaF also was the first game franchise I had gone out of my way to interact with the fandom and try to keep up with all the new information alongside finding different perspectives on it. It had taught me all about how people will have different interpretations and how it is always better to do the research yourself and try to come to your own conclusion as in a franchise as huge as FNaF anything is possible so it is better to come up with your own theories. As much as the FNaF fandom can be a hell-hole with such closed minded gatekeepers I will always have it close to my heart even if I think early FNaF is just a jumpscare simulator rather than a horror game. I may have a love-hate relationship with FNaF and will always be the first to criticize everything about it but it will always be a franchise that I love and will always keep up with no matter what as it had helped me become the person I am.

Def danganronpa, played it when i was 9 and it changed me in the worst way   Maybe it was the amount of blood in the game but atleast it got my interest peaked in the saw series ig?

Outer Wilds. I had never in my life been instilled with such an immense sense of adventure and wonder until I've played that game. If you are someone who enjoys a really good mystery and loves to take your time to explore the world of whatever game you're playing, this game is the best of both. The emotions this game is capable if making you feel is amazing. Like man, when I had started to realize I nearing the end of the game. I felt genuinely sad that I was nearing the end of the adventure, and broooo the ending! It put me to actual tears. The end was really somber and had a heaviness to it, but it was the most heartwarming and beautiful goodbyes a story, it's characters, and it's very world could ever give to it's audience. What's tragic about it is that it's one of those games that it's never quite the same to play it again after it's first full playthrough. It's one of those games you can really only experience at it fullest for the first time.

Persona 3, the original Persona 3 from the old PS2 changed my view on things. It taught me what  apathy is, humanity and kindness despite the cold, bitter nihilism around us. It still stands to this day and the game took place in mfing 2007. 

I'd have to say Undertale, ever since 2015, I've been OBSESSED with it. I bought the game immediately when I got my first switch, I downloaded so many fangames and watched every comic out there (including the aus!!), I got really attached to every character in the game and honestly, everytime I see glowing blue eyes, I think of sans. tall skeleton? oh thats papyrus, a massive spider with many babies? that's muffet, a bar? oh I hope to see grillby. I reference it so much in my life, it's insane,,,

FNAF just because it made me realise theres tons of people that have the same intrests as me and like the things i like

honestly life is strange 2 gave me that feeling, the first one i grew up with but lis2's story really moved me, def worth it if u havent played it

also yakuza 0, for me it was just a completely different type of game and it made me obsessed with the series :0

little big planet 1-3 (those were the ones i played growing up) 

lbp was just such good games rip 

crysis 3

the walking dead game and the last of us, both of them made me cry so so hard its safe to say i love apocalypse found family tropes
