Last night was the worst night of my life, but I feel that I can finally begin to heal. Can someone recommend a nice 15-30 hour game for someone healing from a 17 year abusive relationship? I just need a distraction for a week or two.

You could try Death Stranding. it's about walking around and scary ghosts, but it's really about alienated people very deliberately rebuilding their connections with humanity after experiencing great and profound loss. it kept me going for a while during the early years of the Pandemic.

second Death Stranding. i'm not sure if it's a uniformly soothing experience, but it is contemplative in much the same way a hike is, and the writing offers genuine catharsis.
