Any good games that not only that showcases dark (or sensitive) themes and dark storylines but can also tackle real-life issues: (Metal illness, PTSD, Discrimination, and etc)
e.g. Summer's Gone (grief, depression, narcism), Saya no Uta (Delusions, Schizophrenia, not having the right treatment), Doki Doki Literature Club (youth suicide), Seeds of Chaos (waging war, and pillaging from innocents). That's all I can think of.

What are other games would you all recommend?

Not trying to be that one guy that goes like "hEy BrO yOu ShOuLd TrY mY gAmE XDDD", but, your description is way too specific, so I can't help but ask you to take a look at it some months from now.

Hey, now that you talk about a PTSD adult game, it would be cool to play as a Vietnam vet, who moves to japan to forget his problems back home and becomes a bank robber with a girl and her young sister, while strugling with his psychopathy and his visions of the terrible torture that he suffered from a vietnamese lieutenant, but he discovers that the lieutenant is a leader of a drug and prostitution and ring and is in Japan as well, facing the yakuza, so he becomes an underdog for his mafia and gains trust from him, only to kill him at the end and marrying his former partner in crime and going back to america.

I can't help but to shill my game here. Not that many dark games around, so I might as well. Although be prepared for an awful quality, lol.
