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.

You reminded me of The Getaway (PS2) a GTA style open world game set in London that was completely HUD less and they pulled it off well.

Navigation was done using car indicators, damage/health was done visually, bullets/ammo was tricky but there were always enough guns lying around to not be a huge issue.
