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?

Doki Doki should be 90% blind. Players need to understand they're going into a horror game.

But I'll also add one, Detroit: Become Human. While it's based on replaying it a massive number of times, going in blind makes the story a lot better.

David Cage gets lots of shit for his games, but If you experience them blind without spoilers ahead of time I find they're pretty good interactive movies.

My gf watched me play through all of Detroit, and then started to wonder "what would happen if x didn't y?" Aaaand rabbit hole time.
