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.

I know it's because they patented it and so no one CAN use it; but the nemesis system in the Shadow of Mordor games. Characters learn about you, remember you, become your rival, can have their statuses and their immunities change based on their interactions with you. It was a fantastic system and made gameplay compelling and fresh throughout. It's a shame more games can't use it.
