Not games with a convoluted mysterious story, per se, but if it’s something that re-contextualizes the story somehow, that’s the kind of thing I’m interested in.
Inspired by my digging into the FF:06:5B mystery in my current playthrough of Cyberpunk. There are all sorts of weird codes and ciphers, bizarre rituals you have to do at certain places and times, and vague clues in weird places. One clue was even in an update to The Witcher 3, apparently. Based on my reading, the community found a sort of conclusion to this one, but it really doesn’t clearly explain things (though it fairly strongly hints at Night City 2077 being a simulation, and us not really playing V, but rather whoever is breaching the system at the title screen).
Control, in that the Board is really up to something that nobody can even begin to understand, and that the oldest house is not just a building on Earth that happens to connect to other realities and the astral world, but that Earth is actually one of those astral worlds…it’s just held in place by the collective will of humanity.
It’s something you miss unless you take the time to read deep into things.
Ohh, neat. I should go back and finish that one. It was really good, but the machine I was playing it on died spectacularly and I never got around to reinstalling it on the next one.
When you pick it up again, be sure to get the extra mission DLCs. They are well worth it and really do flesh out the story!
I loved reading all of that, I hope the 2nd expands on that.
