Which games blow your mind, but only if you know nothing about them in advance?

Best examples I can think of are:

  • Outer Wilds
  • Doki Doki Literature Club
  • The Stanley Parable

What are yours?

    Tunic.

    The one thing I think is worth “spoiling” just to save you some pain:

    Tap for spoiler

    If you find a room with a bunch of curtains and bells, it is NOT A PUZZLE!

    I also second Outer Wilds.

      I just finished playing tunic (good ending). A friend and I were playing it at the same time. If I didn’t have that friendly competition I would have dropped it so many times. There is way too much manual work in this game that you often times aren’t playing a video game anymore.

      At the end of it all I didn’t feel a sense of accomplishment just relief that I’m done with the game. Only to find out after doing the secret puzzle is just more meta puzzles outside the game.

      Outer Wilds on the other hand is fantastic and not having to use a pencil and paper to advance in the game is A+.
