small places that feel real

criteria:
- heavy on the details
- do you feel like a part of the world instead of the main character in a videogame?
- density beats size
- exploration is king
- talking to other people and relating meaningfully to them is nice, actually
- mustn’t be just a vehicle for other game mechanics
- extra points if it is a non-violent game

feel free to make suggestions!
