Webbed. You play as a peacock spider (with lasers) trying to save your boyfriend. The bug designs are actually really cute.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Hyper Light Drifter would be my personal recommendation. My playthrough lengths ranged from like six hours on my first run to like, an hour and a half when I decided to try and beat it quickly? But the game is really gorgeous, and a lot of fun to play

A bit old, but gold: Fate (the dungeon crawler one). It's a bit low-poly by today's standards, but it's so fun and has killer music, lots of spells and weapons, tons of interesting enemies and can be beaten in like 6 hours.
Digital - A Love Story and its not so close successor Hate Plus. These are digital novels. The former is a story set in a cozy 80s BBS network and the other in an archeological space ship retelling stories related to old Korea. Both touched me very much.
Resident Evil 7 & 8. Seven sets a new protagonist in a series reboot sort of way, so you might miss some Easter eggs and callbacks but playing the previous games AT ALL. Its meant to be an entry point in the series.
Ratchet and Clank (into the) nexus on ps3 is like a 5 hour game. It also nicely ties into the latest game if you've yet to play that

I think Cocoon will fit in 10 hours. It did for me.
Most point and click adventures take about 6-10 hours in my experience. My favorites are the Monkey Island and Deponia games.
Stranded Sails can't have been much longer than that.
Braid is deffo under ten.
Klondike solitaire 😁.
Castlevania: SOTN once you know a couple of thing about grinding faster.
Small saga
Brothers - Tale of Two Sons https://store.steampowered.com/app/2153350/Brothers_A_Tale_of_Two_Sons_Remake/
Gamepad required, but pretty dope and short puzzle-ish fantasy adventure about 2 brothers who go on an adventure to get medicine for their father. Bit of a tear jerker. Few hours at most for length. If you're not into somewhat somber (or downright depressive) subjects, steer clear.
Catquest https://store.steampowered.com/app/593280/Cat_Quest/
Kinda like topdown zelda-game, but with cats and obscene amounts of cat puns. About 6 hours ish, give or take.
Gunpoint https://store.steampowered.com/app/206190/Gunpoint/
Scifi-noir puzzle platformer, ish. Basically you infiltrate, steal info, try not to be seen, get out. You climb walls/ceilings, tap into buildings circuits to control doors/lamps/elevaters/whatever to lock/smack guards to avoid detection or downright down them. Absolutely banger electronic/jazzy soundtrack. Bit janky with resolution as it is 2d game, wouldn't recommend using anything above 720p.

Another puzzle platformer, but the platformer character is separate character from "you". You move in "fps", and depending on how you leave the "camera", that forms the path for the 2d platformer dude. Difficult to explain in brief, but if you check the gameplay video it should clear it up.
If you're good enough, Vanquish.
