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?

The Halo 1 and KOTOR twists do hit pretty hard if you somehow haven't been spoiled. KOTOR has one of my favorite reveal sequences ever with showing you how much foreshadowing you missed, and Halo's twist turns the game on its head.

yea and Halo Reach hits pretty hard if you don't know what to expect too

However, Reach's tagline was, "From the beginning, you know the end," so there was an expectation that everyone playing would know how it was going to pan out.

You can only stuff about those games without having the twist or whatever spoiled. What Halo twist was it? I've finished it a few times and don't remember really. It was all about how open it was and the action, plus the multiplayer.
