Comment on I'm looking for games with unique or experimental game design

There’s a game called Journey which is… mystically beautiful? It’s mystical because it’s basically just a walking sim with a few puzzles to solve in between, but yet it really draws out the emotions. I’ve played many games like this but nothing trumps Journey yet.
It’s mostly single player but if you play it online, once in a while you’ll come across a fellow traveler from another instance whom you can share the journey with for a while, or not.

Journey was one of the first games that made me fall in love with unique game design.
spoiler about a game mechanic that makes it so good
The way how they sneaked in non-consentual multiplayer (which I actually didn’t even realize is a MP until I’ve read about it somwhere, I though it’s an AI) is amazing and made the experience so much better. It was a really emotional experience thanks to that, and the fact that I will never have a chance to meet the other player who made my experience so interesting only adds to it weight. I still think about it sometimes.
