Thank you so much for sharing, especially with your recs!

I have also heard many positive things about Blades in the Dark, and the mechanics and setting look really interesting.

I think I saw the tabletop rpg Dead Friends in the list, which I've played and do recommend; it's a two-person roleplaying game in which someone is trying to bring their dead friend back to life, and the dead friend has their own purpose (which may not be innocuous). The players walk through the events before the friend's death, and it can be very emotional and dark.

And I've heard good things about By the Author of Lady Windermere's Fan, as well.
