Lacey Games, by Ghosttundra

It tells the story of a fictional site that, in the series' narrative, used to host a bunch of Flash games for young girls between 2004 and 2010 and disturbing (and decidedly not kid-friendly) ways in which they seem to have been mysteriously altered. So far four chapters have been published with more promised on the way, all of which are really good.

(Themes explored here include child abuse, rape, trauma, dissociation, suicide, and above all the female socialization process. So you are forewarned.)

Chapter 1: Lacey's Wardrobe

Chapter 2: Disturbing Secret Ending Found in 2007 Flash Game - Lacey's Diner

Chapter 3: Lacey's Petshop - 2007 Flash Game

Chapter 4: The Disturbing Rabbithole of LaceyGames.com

Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true
