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?

seriously? How the fuck are you gonna “go in blind” with those?
That’s like saying “bro, you gotta watch Star Wars without looking it up first”.

Funny enough, I was in this situation. Didn’t really grow up in a culture and time that was heavy about Star Wars. Someone pointed out to me that my last name backwards was Anakin, harped on me to watch Star Wars, and I got about forty minutes in before I realized I just wasn’t into it.

There are still some of us living under rocks.

I don’t see the point in stardew Valley and witcher, they are pretty self explanatory. But going in blind into Minecraft? Yeah, you’re not getting anything done.

I played Minecraft blind for about a year as a child and didn’t get much done, to be fair, but I had lots of fun. Optimising stuff and beating the game sometimes takes the fun out of it.
