10 Video Games That Aren't What You Think

1. Glittermitten Grove

For this one we’re revisiting the Soda Drinker Pro genre of games hiding inside other games. Glittermitten Grove’s Steam description pitches the game as a faerieland, full of strange adventure, inviting players to plant seeds, pick berries, and collect sparkles alongside the faeries.

Dig deeper than the surface though and you’ll find none other than Frog Fractions 2. Yep, it’s back.

The difficulty was that Frog Fractions was already a game that subverted expectations, so the creator explained that he needed to find a new approach that didn’t just repeat the madness of the first game. The result was a sequel more hidden and far longer but similarly refreshingly absurd. To find the game hidden within Glittermitten Grove you need to use special fireworks or find a hidden door located in the sky.

It should be said, Glittermitten Grove is actually a fairly substantial game in and of itself and to access either entry into Frog Fractions 2, you will have to play it.

Just expect a vastly different experience. The latter involves the weirdest combination of minigames, the strangest gameplay mechanics you can envision, and a resulting game unlike anything else you would have played. Including Glittermitten Grove.

In things you can’t help but love about indie games, the developers actually made it possible to import your Mass Effect 2 save--this game has absolutely no relation but it does change things in Frog Fractions 2.

Why did they do this? I don’t know, but it’s amazing.
