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
