Adventure

One time I drove out into the country to see a full moon too. I ate a weird gas station hot dog on the way. It didn't look like this, but this captures how the scene fuzzed my brain up in a sublime way.

Lose yourself in a cathedral-like train station from the near future.
Adventure

An excellent free introduction to Cosmo D's work. If you try this shorter thing and like the writing, I highly recommend their paid stuff.

Chronological Haunted Anomalous Interconnected Narrative
Adventure

An exquisite corpse in all the ways

A cyberpunk pottery game about improving the human race through technology.

Throwing pots is a really great game mechanic, it really makes you consider and reconsider if what you're doing is really a good idea.

Visit a decrepit town and cook some viscera.
Adventure

You're the Needful Things guy, but definitely worse, and everybody knows it, but they want things anyway. Great horrifying visceral aesthetic + fun finger painting.

Coffee brewing and heart-to-heart talk simulator in a fantasy world that's as real as ours
Visual Novel

If you're only going to try one visual novel, this would be a good choice.

The classic web game, reborn! Enjoy this remaster in glorious 4k resolution!

Hard to talk about at all without spoilers. It seriously is the game of it's decade. Not the best, just of it.

Chisel through a layer cake of thousand-year-old civilizations.
Role Playing

Probably the single most interesting worldbuilding of any media or book I've experienced.

A sci-fi language puzzle game
Puzzle

I can't think of a greater and more interesting test of having learned a new language than being forced to argue philosophy in it.

A point-and-click mystery set in the bible belt of Sweden
Adventure

The garden path sentence of adventure games. No other story has so thoroughly gotten me to fall into the same thinking traps as a character. Don't want to spoil, go play it.

An exploration adventure and puzzle game from the award-winning creators of Machinarium and Botanicula
Adventure

If you only ever try one point and click adventure game, make it this one. It's charming and absorbing and has no low points.

A nostalgic horror adventure game, inside another horror game, inside a tv show, inside a game.
Adventure

This really stands on it's own better than in Stories Untold. It's both a heightening and simplifying of old text adventures.

a little exploration game about hiking up a mountain
Adventure

All the good things people keep saying about this one are true.

Pick a comic book for your father's birthday.
Interactive Fiction

Excruciatingly personal, in a couple different ways
