Looking for good recommendations. A game with lots of replayability would be good. The Warlock of Firetop Mountain is a good example.
I wish there was more of this genre. I find the gameplay of training + oncoming challenges very engaging. A Legionary's Life also fits the bill.Academagia

There's also My Pet Protector, a flash game, at least in English. In Japanese, there are quite a few, including one where you're a teacher, another where you're an idol manager. If you're interested, and know Japanese, I believe there are some on the TurboGrafx CD/PC Engine CD.I wish there was more of this genre.

Not an hour or two, but as I recall Alpha Protocol took like 4-5 hours per playthrough and had a lot of reactivity that allowed for multiple playthroughs. It was definitely a title that went wide rather than long. Admittedly, finding this might be tough now outside of physical copies, etc. due to Sega not renewing the music licensing.

The Internet Archive has a playable on-line version in glorious IBM CGA graphics: https://archive.org/details/msdos_Alter_Ego_1986 (also at https://www.retrogames.cz/play_727-DOS.php) However, the specific on-line version pictured above is apparently inaccessible via the Wayback Machine, and it doesn't seem to have been replicated elsewhere.
Is this version still available somewhere? The official website replaced it with a newer remake in the ChoiceScript engine.
