It's a totally different type of game, but in Clair Obscur - Expedition 33, the first "main character" (Gustave) is a nerdy engineer, still in love with the woman with whom he broke up 4 years ago, and with some problems to clearly communicate with others.
He has learned how to fight to go on the expedition, but in the first fight of the game, he totally goes into shellshock and can't fight back or run away. I won't spoiler the end of Act 1, but what happens there well... you must see for yourself
