You should play (the extremely good) Minds Beneath Us blind for maximum mystery
Caught in the brain
I have the small luxury of a chaotic brain and access to enough games that I can install a heap, then weeks later start playing them with no idea what they are. It's the best way of approaching Minds Beneath Us, as it adds further uncertainty and intrigue to its already compelling mysteries.
It is, I suppose, interactive fiction. With little context and no specific goal, you're thrust into control of a man in a near-future city, and must get through his daily life while figuring out what exactly you are and what to do about it.
It's very, very good.
