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.

Chrono Trigger's team techs system should have been copied far more than being a footnote in Cross or needing to wait decades for Sea of Stars. It actually makes the characters feel like friends and allies, it's also a blast just to see all the options of how the different moves combine.
