My curated collection of some of the Best Stuff
It is hilariously easy to crash into your own time reversed combine harvester speeding along backwards into you as it plants wheat in the ground at high speed
Very short, probably 5 minutes long, but an awesome archaeology themed game. This is an amazing concept for a longer game analyzing artifacts.
I really love the concept here, I think I might have liked it better as just a dungeon crawler/poetry delivery game, the typing stuff is cool and goes along with the poetry well but I wish that part was more developed.
Cool little mystery story - subverts some normal expectations about first person walking sims in a novel way.
Worth it just for the evil sea, the cool screwed up fish are awesome too
This has the usual Connor Sherlock magic, and some powerfully arresting images
The #1 documentary about alien whale biology in this list.
This unholy spawn of Youtube Poop, David Lynch, and the Titanic as a cultural object is worth experiencing. A psycho-spiritual exploration of the experience of drowning that is quite slow-paced and contemplative for what it is.
They say creativity is a process of hiding your influences. If this is the case, they're hidden real fucking well here. This is the most singularly original piece of media I have experienced, in the best possible way.
This is elevated greatly by the David Lynch impression of whoever is doing the voiceover.

People like to compare this to Morrowind, which in some ways does it a disservice, since this is really clearly its own thing. What is shares with Morrowind is having a unique and interesting setting with deep lore, while not having the complex RPG mechanics. For me, who only wanted more interesting setting and worldbuilding from the the Elder Scrolls, this is exactly what I'm looking for.

Like a low-level d&d adventure in the best way
One of those "collect the ending" games in a fascinatingly horrible and occasionally comedic world
Almost overwhelming with the sublime in a different way than other stuff on this list, this time almost through sensory overload
Hours off aimless wandering through continually novel environments available. Both deeply alienating and extremely connecting in a personal way.
The screaming waterfall and the cubes that go 'blep blep' really speak to me. I would pay $60 for something like this expanded out to the budget of a AAA game, but maybe this is good because its small.
