Which games blow your mind, but only if you know nothing about them in advance?

Best examples I can think of are:

  • Outer Wilds
  • Doki Doki Literature Club
  • The Stanley Parable

What are yours?

Fucking great game, Inscryption was mentioned in here at least.

Everyone always glosses over his second big game, The Hex. It’s fucking stellar, and a GREAT game to go into blind.

Quick edit: I didn’t think I’d like it more than Inscryption and it doesn’t have the same replay value, but after beating it over the course of two days… The Hex is his best work. Very excited for Pony Island 2.

I own it, but haven’t played it yet. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

I could not love it more. Ignore the graphics in the preview—they make sense like a half hour in. (Not a spoiler, something that got me to play the game)

Another Quicc Edit: I think it’s been long enough where I can replay it. I loved it sooooo much.
