A Dark Room
My first experience with this game was truly phenomenal. I was searching for games similar to Universal Paperclips (I was on a minimalism high) and this game blew me away. My girlfriend teases me all the time because I'm pretty crappy at visualization when I read, while she creates entire worlds in her head. However, A Dark Room somehow managed to temporarily fix my literary handicap, and it was amazing! The text that scrolls down the side of the game essentially explains what's going on from the perspective of the player, and when the first straggler stumbled into my cottage, I immediately decided that this was a movie that I wanted to see. As the game progressed, new gameplay elements continued to be introduced, requiring me to learn how they work and take advantage of them as best I could to grow and protect my village. Although I won't go into further details about the story for the sake of spoilers, I do recommend reading everything, especially when exploring
