Virtue and a Sledgehammer might be the game this year most like Mouthwashing for me, in that the way the story is written and told with the characters was extremely thoughtful. As the story unravels you can’t help but have personal moral quandaries based on what is happening and there is plenty of in-universe fourth wall breaks where the game asks you to respond with your own morality.
This is an incredible experience and a sleeper hit for the year.
