Individual teen PCs

Recommendations by Kinetic Mouse Car

This list is not for games that are simply about teens. It is for games starring an individual teen PC (you know, 13-19). I made this list because it is interesting to interact with a story through the perspective of teenagers, especially since authors can have diverse ways of interpretating and conveying the teenage experience.

Below each game is the protagonist's name. If their age is mentioned, it will be shown in parenthesis. These are ones I have played. I will update the list regularly.
