Another game with a similar take on moral choices is This War of Mine. Both are fairly serious works of literature; do not play either with the expectation that you will feel good about yourself or the human condition afterwards.
But occasionally, a good game comes out which makes you think about the world, and evoke other kinds of emotions like papers please.
Non power fantasy does not mean only a game that makes point about the world. It may mean also comedic game or Nintendo like feel good whatever.
It's a non-linear RPG that lets you play a lone, vulnerable person in a brutal, unforgiving world with a rich setting and highly intricate storyline.
One-on-one fights are hard enough, you-against-many usually ends with your dead body on the ground and a snarky commentary about your yet another fatal mistake.
That was an awful game.
I picked up the game because I thought it would be a spiritual successor to the text based game Mind Forever Voyaging. Well it wasnt exactly that.
The game gets dark fast. In fact I don't see it as a game at all, as it isn't fun other than solving puzzles that are at time grizzly.

I was pretty shocked at having to operate an organ/eye out of a living and awake prisoner of war in a one of the game's simulations; of a concentration camp.
Another simulation you play as a female that gets violated.

"The game's story is set in a world where an evil computer named AM has destroyed all of humanity except for five people, whom he has been keeping alive and torturing for the past 109 years. Each survivor has a fatal flaw in their character, and in an attempt to crush their spirits, AM has constructed a metaphorical adventure for each that preys upon their weaknesses. To succeed in the game, the player must make choices to prove that humans are better than machines, because they have the ability to redeem themselves. Woven into the fabric of the story are ethical dilemmas dealing with issues such as insanity, rape, paranoia and genocide."

Will I get depressed?
I recommend playing it. It can be intense but incredibly powerful; simple choices like "who gets to eat today" really bring it home. Easily the best game of the last few years.
If you get read the text, feel the emotions and really get inside the story, you will probably feel depressed.
I know I did feel depressed a bit after playing it. That's actually one of the reasons I stopped after 2 playthroughs.
That's still a good game, and I recommend playing it.
