I'm requesting for recommendations for games that stand out from the rest in their genre, and not in the sense of being the best game in that niche but actually bringing something new and innovative to the table. I've not had much experience in gaming, but I have a few games to give you a hint on what I am talking about:

  • Superhot: Time only moves when you do
  • Viewfinder: Convert 2D pictures seamlessly into interactive 3D environments
  • Superliminal: Change size of objects by working with perception
  • Portal: Portals
  • Scribblenauts: Summon objects by describing them in a notepad

I am not focused on the story, no. of hours of playtime, date of release or its popularity. It just needs to be playable and be enjoyable (and be available in PC).

Stanley Parable

You're an office worker bee who one day realizes the office you work in is deserted except for a voice that narrates what you do and gets frustrated with you if you do something else. There really isn't a point to it apart from discovering your word surroundings and trying to break the game apart.

Also, there's a Steam achievement you get by not playing it for 10 years.

Wasn't that 4 or 5 years?

[-] superkret@feddit.de 5 points 9 months ago

In the original, yes. The super deluxe version currently on steam made it 10

Ah, but that's a different game technically

It also includes Stanley Parable 2-n.
