I'm looking for games that make me feel small and insignificant (sh.itjust.works)

Pretty much, I'm looking for a game where I'm not the hero, I'm not the protagonist, I'm just a pawn in the big picture.

Preferably a game with a big open world too, one that feels real and isn't just a predetermined path for my player.

I also like games where you aren't clearly stronger than all your opponents like you're some sort of God so they actually feel intimidating and there is a fear of dying

All suggestions are welcome

Thanks :>

Playing through Baldur's Gate 3 at the moment and this feels most appropriate.

Sidenote: love your name

I don't know what the full story of Baldur's Gate 3 is at the moment, and don't tell me if you do, but I'm pretty sure we're heroes, or something special. Most RPGs you're at least a little more special than average, if not much more.

Hmm, don't worry I won't spoil things for you.
