Looking for cryptic, contemplative, and philosophical books — like the atmosphere of Team Ico games or Dark Souls

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for books that evoke a mysterious, minimalist, contemplative, and philosophical atmosphere, similar to what you find in games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian, or even Dark Souls (especially in its fragmented, poetic lore).

I’m drawn to stories that suggest more than they say, where the world feels silent, abandoned, filled with ruins or lost memories, and where emotion comes not from action, but from stillness, solitude, or small gestures. I love when the narrative is cryptic, symbolic, maybe even elliptical, and the reader has to intuit or feel what’s really going on.

Do you know any books like that? Fiction or even non-fiction, as long as it carries that haunting, meditative tone.

Thanks in advance.
