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.

The sight jacking mechanic in siren games. Tbf it's the core mechanic,so copying it would be obvious .

The ability to basically tune in a perspective from the enemy to see from their perspective. You can see if you are near or facing you and what their routine is as well as game objects or puzzle solutions.

A wonderful and terrifying mechanic.
