Have you played a game that stayed in your head long after you played it?
For me, Outer Wilds would be that game. I feel like I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I beat it a couple years ago.

I received Eternal Darkness for Christmas in 2002. I will NEVER forget the feelings that game inspired in me thanks to the unique “sanity” system and creepy lovecraftian atmosphere.
I remember my brothers and I huddled around the basement TV into the wee hours of the morning over our Christmas holiday totally creeped out but so driven to complete the story that we pressed onward.
What a fantastic game that was and I’m so grateful for those memories with my brothers. I don’t think I’ve ever had such a deep connection with a game since.
This! I still talk about this game and how it liked to mess with the player when the character would lose sanity. The bugs on the screen, the fake overheat errors… beautiful!
Such a fucking cool game. Nobody who played that back in 2003 wasn’t impressed.
Also, the spell casting was top-notch
It freaked my christian parents out so much I had to hide the game from them.
