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.

Sable: Combat-free 3rd person adventure game where you glide around and ride a floating dune buggy. It's a coming of age story where your goal is to learn about and eventually choose a trade to do for the rest of your life. 8 to 20 hours, depending on how much side content you do.

Terraria: 2d Minecraft, except with bosses, cool swords, magic, ranged weapons and guns, only has fantasy violence. Only negative: a bit wiki dependent. I have 200 hours in the game, but you could get through a lot of it in 30 hours. Lots of time spent upgrading to new armor and weapons after mining a bunch. It is kinda self directed though.

Sea of Stars: Cool RPG a bit like Chrono Trigger, with incredible music and some pretty cool plot moments. 28-35 hours. Fantasy combat only. Really cool party system where you have 3 active slots, and you can switch party members freely.

Sable is absolutely beautiful and there's no other game quite like it. Maybe Journey or parts of some Zelda games. I never actually finished it because I couldn't bring myself to make it end. Perfect atmosphere, music, and visual style. It's one of the games that's been inspiring me to learn coding and game dev lately.
