I'd like to request recommendations (spoiler free!) for games where you need to make choices, take sides, kill or not kill someone, follow or do not follow orders, but where the consequences actually matter - and most importantly, where the choices aren't "obviously good choice vs obviously bad choice".

Give me games where I can choose to side with one kingdom or another, but there's no clear moral high ground, or where I need to decide to save someone dear to me at the cost of innocent lives. I do not want things like "save all the children and get the happy ending and make flowers grow" versus "kill everybody and everything blows up and the world gets all its water replaced by acid".

What games fit this requirement?

Prey gives you the choices up front, tells you they don't matter, then gives you a really good game to play.

plot twist

The way you play is entirely up to you, but that's the point. Are you who you say you are? It's easy to say whether you'll flip a switch or push a person when you're answering questions at a desk, but it's suddenly much harder when you're actually faced with the problem. What will you choose?
