Fading Afternoon - A 2D pixel art game where you play an aging yakuza legend who gets out of prison after a decade. His family has lost its power, his friends are dead and he is himself very sick.
The game lets you choose what you'll do with your remaining time with an incredible amount of freedom.
Slay the Princess - Another game with an incredible amount of choices. A visual novel where a narrator leads you to a chained princess and orders you to kill her. The slightest variation in your actions leads to a completely different result, pushing you to try and explore all of them.
Chants of Sennaar - A puzzle game where you are a traveler finding your way through a tower of Babel by translating the languages of the different groups of people who inhabit the place.
Beautiful and very intellectually stimulating. Excellent design from the beginning to the end.
Case of the Golden Idol - Another very intellectually stimulating game.
From frozen views of a crime scene, you must put together what has happened. The game lets you write down your understanding and will validate it or not at the end, letting you do the reasoning entirely by yourself.
Cocoon - A puzzle game where you are an insect carrying worlds on your back. You can carry, place on a base or dive into a world using a single button, creating an impressive depth of puzzles. The visuals are absolutely breathtaking and the design manages to make you feel like you are a genius.
ANIMAL WELL - A very strange and unique metroidvania. You are a small blob in a cave where beautiful and ghastly animals live. Each tool you unlock is disconcerting and unusual for a game of this genre, but hides multiple secrets.
The atmosphere is incredibly strong and peculiar.
