Did you play the original game? A Normal Lost Phone I'd recommended checking that out, too, if you haven't. I havne't played this new one, but it looks like it's basically the same. I can't honestly tell you which is the better story, and I can't really tell you that playing the original game with the same exact gimmick will be worth you're time, but it's there if you want to check it out.

There's also Bury Me, My Love, which tells the story of a Syrian refugee. It plays out in the form of text messages, but it plays out in psuedo-real time. You text with her until that conversation is over, then you end up having to wait until she can talk again, so it can take actual weeks to get through. It's neat. It does have speed options, so you can speed up the wait times, but that sort of takes a bit of the atmosphere and presentation of the game away. It's agonizing to give her advice and then not hear anything for literal days.
