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 psychoanalysis parts of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. The monsters were different, the ending was different, parts of the environment, etc, based on questions you answered with a "therapist" in game and various in-world objects you may or may not have interacted with. I haven't seen this replicated in a game since.
