Highly recommend Policenauts if you haven’t played it yet. Its a linear story but there are so many details to uncover and people to talk to. Plus there’s a little bit of action sprinkled in. Definitely an instant classic. There’s also an English translation version of the PS1 version if you look it up online.
I definitely recommend either working on your own project (as others have suggested), or also just try modifying an existing project.
If you’re into Video Games, there’s a great FOSS project called RomM which is basically a game manager website for roms. You could try to run the project locally, dig into the code, and add a new text field onto the site (maybe a link to HowLongToBeat?) From there, you could even tackle one of the issues. https://github.com/zurdi15/romm
Obviously it could be any project that you are passionate about, but the point is that sometimes it’s better to understand someone else’s code base before doing something from scratch. Plus that’s a skill you will need to have when working as a JS developer.
