Firewatch leaves you mostly alone in a forest with a radio and a slowly unraveling mystery, and What Remains of Edith Finch turns a strange house into a family history told room by room. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter treats the search as a puzzle instead of a chase, while Blair Witch takes that slow pace into straight horror. Adventure holds nearly all of the 324 games in this tag, most of them slow enough to finish comfortably in one evening.
