I may have to describe what I'm looking for. Despite me having no real skills to make a name for myself out in the real world, I haven't exactly had a terrible life. However, I want to play some sort of horror game that is realistically relatable to people who have experienced situations most media outlets are afraid to depict.
I'm talking about no-win situations where you play as a victim where there is either no way to get help, or the people you reach out to don't believe you. Games where you're the victim of predatory stalking, convincing emotional deception/manipulation, shocking violence taking away everyone and everything you've ever known, a wrongful criminal conviction simulator, a realistic depiction of being a mostly sane individual stuck against your will in a mental asylum, even trying to survive a public shooting/hostage situation as one of the hostages... just more true-to-life depictions of horrible events a lot of people go through. I want to step into someone else's shoes just to understand the same terror these people did who have gone through something truly terrifying.
Does anyone have any recommendations of horror games/experiences that fit this criterea? I'm not looking to experience something supernatural with the fear of the unknown, but more something that is well known, but there isn't anything you can really do about it anyway, as as soon as the game starts, it's already inevitable and all you can do is endure and TRY to escape the likely conclusion.
Edit: VR suggestions are acceptable, but not required.
