You and I seem to have a really similar game taste. I also enjoy games that elicit emotions. I'm so glad you reached out to this sub for help! I'm also going to take a different turn than most have taken and recommend a text-based adventure game. I don't know if they're your kind of thing but I figured I'd give it a shot.
Give Creatures Such as We a shot if you like. It's a choose your own adventure with super lovely writing. And it's free on Android! If you like it, feel free to reach out to me because I have a whole lot of text adventure recommendations. This is due to a) my love of narrative-driven games and b) my computer's inability to play much of anything with high graphics.
I hope things turn around for you.
There you go. It was free to play when I downloaded it (with wait times in between) but I'm not sure about now. And it meanders and stuff but its honestly the only choose your own game that has stuck with me. :-)

Try searching these developers in your play store. Maybe you will find some of their games to your liking. The games I can recommend are Creatures such as we, Lone Wolf Saga and the Sorcery series
I don't remember the exact name of it, but basically it was like a story game where you read the text and it gives you choices of what to do after that. It's based in an amusement park - like thing on the moon, and it's really interesting. I played it once and could've played again, but decided against it, because I liked the outcome I had the first time (and it kinda made me sad). I think it was called 'Creatures of the Night.'
Edit: It was 'Creatures Such as We.' https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.choiceofgames.creaturessuchaswe
