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?

An extra-extra spoiler: there's a lot to dig your teeth into, philosophically, that makes the whole rigmarole worth it.

That's a strong point for me, and the main reason I liked it as much as I did. Same reason I loved The Talos Principle, despite having to look up guides for the majority of the puzzles.

Ooh, yeah, Talos Principle! Perfect rec for someone who loved Nier and Portal. I haven't played the sequel yet, but really really enjoyed the first game. I agree about some of the puzzles, though.
