You might not have played Treasure of the Rudras (SNES)
Treasure of the Rudras (Rudra no Hihou) is a JRPG by Squaresoft from 1996 that was never ported to english, but received a fan translation.
Gameplay: JRPG, Single Player
Treasure of the Rudras is one of the older Squaresoft JRPGs. It has a rather simple save the world storyline but also a lot of unique features.
First off TotR has 3 storylines you can/have to play through. Each story follows a different group of heroes on their personal quest during the "last days" of the world. Sometimes these groups meet, but usualy you will only see the results of actions the other groups did at a certain time in the story. Spells have to be learned from people/books in the world or 'guessed' and then written down inside a spellbook to be used. This feature is particularly interesting because you can use the player knowledge you gained from one storyline while playing the other story lines.
The 3 storyline structure also helped in making the game have a lot more content than would normaly be possible on a SNES cartridge. The different groups go to the same locations at different times during the game. That allowed the developers to reuse the same art assets, but change up the map for different gameplay. In one instance a cave that has been visited by 1 party is later explored by another; the second party finds the cave flooded with water though, which changes the caves layout significantly.
All in all a very interesting game I would recommend to everyone who likes JRPGs.
Get the Fan-Translation here or test in an online emulator.

You might not have played Lands of Lore: Guardians of Destiny (PC)
Gameplay: RPG, Story, Singleplayer, First Person
You are Luther. You have been accused of being a servant of the dark armies and imprisoned. You manage to escape because you are cursed to randomly transform into a tiny lizard or a huge demon. This curse is also the reason for the accusations. After your prisonbreak you will have to find a way to break the curse.
The Game features a variety of different magic abilitys, weapons and mechanics due to the curse that lets you either be a tiny lizard, which enables you to go through small passages, or a huge demon, that can destroy anything in its path. The controls in this game are a bit iffy, as you will have to click on a button with your mouse to attack or cast a spell. But the game does not suffer too much from that considering the gameplay is not all about combat. A mayor part of the game is interaction with your environment to solve puzzles and that works like a charm with the mouse controls.
The game is fully voiced and has a quite charming retro soundtrack.
You can get the game including the first part of the Lands of Lore series in a bundle for 6$ on gog.

You might not have played To the Moon (PC)
To the Moon is an indie adventure RPG game released in by Free Bird Games in 2011.
Gameplay: RPG, Story, Singleplayer
The game focuses alot on the story and gameplay is only mildly relevant to enjoying this game. If you like experiencing a good story you will like this game.
To explain the premise of the game im going to cite the official site:
"There exists a technology that allows doctors to weave artificial memories, such that a patient can request attempts to alter their mind, and wake up with memories of things that didn’t actually happen.
However, since these new memories are permanent, the conflict between them and the existing authentic memories clash in such a way that it ceases the person’s ability to properly function. Thus, the operation is only done to people on their deathbeds, to fulfill what they wish they had done with their lives… but didn’t."
You journey together with the two doctors using this technology to aid a man in the last hours of his life.
You can get the game on the official website, which also provides links to steam, gog or origin.
