Since you're asking for input --I love slice-of-life RPGs that are set in some real location and not only have a plot in themselves, but which also tell the story of that location. Games like Embracelet, Norco, and Night in the Woods. Admittedly, two of those are in fictional towns, but they still tell the story of real places, if only indirectly. So many peoples' and places' stories could be explored this way.
Honestly, though, if you're creating a game, the best choice should probably be what you're the most inspired to make yourself :) .
