games where the story is revealed through exploration

I’m looking for games where the story is revealed bit by bit as the player explores the world, rather than simply told in chronological order via scripted cutscenes. I want to just go around exploring and then start putting together the pieces to form a full picture

I don’t mind the genre as long as you think it’s got good writing, compelling worldbuilding and characters, etc. Having a good aesthetic always helps too, of course

Some examples that I have really enjoyed:
Subnautica
Outer Wilds
Hollow Knight/Silksong
Blue Prince
Return of the Obra Dinn
The Talos Principle
Sekiro
