If you like Project Hail Mary, you should totally check out Tacoma - it's a story-based game where you get to explore an abandoned spaceship, watching recordings of the astronauts' lives and trying to understand the mystery of why it's been abandoned. (it's not a horror game so if you're easily frightened dw lol)

What made the game stand out to me is that, like in real life with a big group, multiple characters will speak concurrently, have sidebars, enter and leave the room at different times; you get to follow around different people, eavesdrop in whatever order you'd like, and then rewind the recordings back to fully understand the story at your own pace.

It's got a great cast of characters, is beautifully designed, and is pretty short (I think I finished my playthrough in about ~5 hours?).

Plus, it's got a developer commentary mode you unlock after beating the game, which unlocks a bunch of different nodes you can interact with throughout the map to hear from a bunch of ppl who worked on the game.

You can pick it up for $5 on steam when it goes on sale!!! It's a wonderful experience and something I'd recommend to pretty much anyone at any skill level.
