It's my favorite song from a video game very dear to me and I have no idea what kind of genre it's from. Do you have any ideas as to what genre this song is from or what keywords I might be able to search to find song similar to it?

What you're looking for would probably be considered "ambient", "tense", but also "soothing"

I don't think it has any real 'genre' it fits into

Game and film music is always difficult to place in a box. In addition "game music" or "film music" is not a genre or a style in its own right either. It is just a context, purpose and area of use.

Genre tags that I would apply here are ambient, new age or meditation music. But that REALLY doesn't describe the whole picture as all of these will miss the mark in mood and activity. The music uses influences from Arabic folk music and western/country music. Moods you hear, can be described as tension and suspense.

"Ambient electronica" maybe.

This is one my own tracks.
I think this is "ambient electronica" as well.
