Return of the Obra Dinn: Amazing mystery/detective game. However once you've played it, you basically can't play it again as you remember the solution already and the challenge of the game is trivialized.
Chants of Sennaar: Really great game about deciphering languages. However, once again, by playing the game once, you'll remember the languages and the game has no challenge any more.
Outer Wilds: Mystery adventure game. There is some replayability as there are perhaps areas that you can still explore, but largely once you figure out the mystery and complete the game, there's not much more to experience. Some people speedrun the game though.

All of the above games I value extremely highly even though I only played them ~8-10 hours.

Do you have any others?

Omori. Finished the game in 15 hours across 3 days. Bawled my eyes out for the next few weeks. 15/10 would recommend.

Now play the other route.

Also, if you're interested, there's an official Omori orchestral concert on YouTube.

I dunno buddy, the achievement said that I got the good ending. I found it sad enough already, but I have no regrets regarding this game.

Yeah, it's an amazing game. And, yeah, you most likely got the good ending. The other route has more lore and a lot of post game content, assuming you're playing the Switch version. (The Steam version still has post game content, but they added more in the Switch version.)

I wish they would add the new content to PC too.
