The only game that ever got me totaly engrossed in the story and the characters.
The Walking dead, the last of us and Bioshock Infinite are the only games that have made me care about the characters. Odd that its all young girls 
. I guess it triggers some sort of protective nature in my brain or something. I almost couldnt keep playing as I didnt want anything bad to happen to them lol.

Thanks. I've avoided watching videos and reading too much on it in case I spoil anything for when I actually play.

Valiant Hearts /thread!
My son was 7 when we played it last year, its a good co-op he used the arrow keys I used WASD, it has some kinda scary bits. I don't want to ruin the story for you though.
Some fun puzzles which we both found hard until we figured it out.
Also there is a couple of death scenes in there that I had to explain - just an FYI incase you haven't covered that subject yet bud.

Dammit -- I was making a list and IE's farting about so I ended up losing it.
So I'll just add a +1 for To The Moon.
I haven't broken down so badly at the end of a game in my LIFE. If you're after an absorbing, affecting story then you need to play that game. In fact, I may have a spare key for it lying around if you'd like it.
As others have said, though... be warned, the gameplay elements are very sparse -- it's essentially an interactive storybook/film -- but it's beautifully told, excellently paced and intimately emotional. Even hearing the soundtrack nowadays is nearly enough to set me off, thinking about the intricacies of the story and how it all fits into place.
And, of course... Planescape: Torment -- available on GoG if you've never had the pleasure and don't mind doing a lot of reading during your games. But let's face it, if you're looking for absorbing narrative, chances are you don't have a problem with reading.
