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.

Papers please. A bureaucracy game can be fun, properly made.

Contraband Police is kind of like a first person bureaucracy simulator of a vaguely eastern European checkpoint.

The Beholder series also kind of has that endless bureaucracy vibe where you can either play along with the regime, or fight against it at your own risk.
