What’s the most innovative game hook that never took off or got copied? (alien.top)

Basically what’s a game that you’ve played that seemed so mind blowingly unique at the time but for one reason or another the game never took off and other developers didn’t pick up and run with it either.

Does black & white count here? The god game where you could be good or evil? I could be out of the loop but have there been similar games after b&w 2?

I really hope someone revives this genre. B+W 1 and 2 are some of my all time favorite games and nothing comes close. It was like Tamagotchi on steroids.
