Back when I lived in North Edinburgh someone got shot at my local (Jock’s Lodge). They keep changing the name to try to distract from that colourful incident but all the locals stick to the original name. Nice place; friendly bar staff!
Same I think the monsters work better as museum pieces than threats
I have work friends but they are a different category from regular friends. I’m more inhibited around them (or at least try to be). At the end of the day your colleagues and you have got together to make money as opposed to socialise.
This is a FOSS game right? Been meaning to check it out.

Is it cheating to pick an immersive sim? Probably the original Bioshock. I know it was dumbed down from System Shock 2 (which I later played and enjoyed). But when I was a teenager and played it for the first time I was completely pulled into that world.
Similar but distinct runner up would go to Metroid Prime which my child brain found unbelievably immersive. It is exactly like what I’d imagine exploring an alien planet to feel like.
Honourable mention to Dark Souls 1 where the mythology feels simultaneously vague and fleshed out. Somehow the vagueness adds to the authenticity. Your actions mattering and killable NPCs also help.
The first nitrogen execution in the USA did not go well. And arguably the first nitrogen suicide pod they tried in Switzerland went even worse.
