7. The Void

Have you ever entered a video game world so bewildering, unique, and unfamiliar that you felt like a literal newborn? Well, if this sort of rebirth is something you're interested in, then you should consider a trip into The Void.

This bizarre game puts you in the shoes of a lost soul entering an ethereal purgatory called the Void. From there, you collect and process colour, a rare resource in this world. Whilst doing so, you'll encounter two factions, the deformed and monstrous Brothers and the forlorn Sisters.

The Void is a gruelling title that will see you die again and again as you attempt to figure out the intricacies of this setting. You'll need to get used to drawing complex glyphs with your mouse, battling tough enemies, and farming colour.

On top of this, the world-building and narrative is mired in ambiguity. Any exposition you get from the Brothers or Sisters is entirely unreliable, as no one truly knows anything concrete.

Even after hours in this game, you'll still be none the wiser.
