That’s not weird at all—I've had the exact same kind of moment. There was a game I played where just putting pieces of a photo back together told a story about someone’s memories, and man, it stayed with me. It's kinda crazy how something so simple can be so powerful.

Haha, funny timing. I’ve been looking for something chill to play during my lunch breaks. Usually I stick with sudoku or idle clickers, nothing too heavy. But seeing folks talk about emotional stories on mobile is kinda interesting. Never really thought about games that way on a phone. Might poke around and try something different soon.
Oh yeah, definitely. For me, it was To the Moon (the mobile version). I wasn’t ready for how deep it would go. Minimal mechanics, but the story just hits different. What’s cool is that mobile games don’t need a bunch of complex gameplay to be powerful. I read this article not long ago that talks about this exact thing—how touch-screen storytelling is evolving. Might be worth a look: https://www.greatandhra.com/articles/news/touch-screen-storytelling-small-screens-big-stories-144877. It breaks down how simple gestures like swiping and tapping can actually carry emotional weight when done right. Definitely changed how I look at mobile gaming.
