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 think there need to be more games that break the fourth wall. Such as the Stanley parable did and metal gear solid. Will never forget when I was a kid and right before fighting psycho mantis in metal gear solid he claims he’s going to read my mind, then proceeds to tell me that I like to play vandal hearts. Which I did. This freaked me out. He reads the save game files on your memory card.
