Haven't seen Before Your Eyes mentioned yet. It's not a long game, but it's got a good story reliving the main character's life through their eyes. Also, you control it by blinking! As soon as you blink, there will be a time skip.

Yes! I love this game. I got it yesterday imbrue steam summer sale, and it is the only game to have ever made me cry. Its very short (bit over an hour) but the story is beautiful.

Same! Loved Before Your Eyes. It was short and not necessarily replayable many times, but very emotional and unique. I'd love to find other unique games like this, where the main game/mechanic is new or different in some way like the blinking control was, but not sure how to find them!
