10 Little-Known Video Game Stories That Will Change Your Life

10. Lost Dimension

Focusing on the notion that none of the characters can trust each other makes this tactical RPG a thought-provoking and nerve-racking experience.

The main character is Sho, a member of SEALED, an elite psychic task-force entrusted with preventing a mysterious antagonist known as The End. So far, so dramatic. However, as the squad are sent to face this threat, they accidentally fall directly into his trap.

This consists of a mysterious tower, which the group must climb floor by floor. However, progression is not as simple as simply scaling or climbing stairs. For each floor they face, at least one team member will betray the others. Therefore, Sho, using his mind-reading abilities, must deduct who the traitor may be and build up trust via missions, so that his companions will select the same decision.

The game crafts a careful balancing act, wherein a mistaken decision cannot be reversed due to the save system and the traitors are randomised throughout each playthrough. Only intense scrutiny and rational decisions can keep the group from being overran by traitors.

These decisions are made even more difficult by the conversations and backstories the player uncovers for each character. Especially if a favourite becomes a traitor...
