    Prey, System Shock 2, Outer Wilds, and Undertale are fully-realized microcosms where the primary game is unfolding the complex origami of the setting. All of them absolutely beautiful to experience.

      Do you think Return of the Obra Dinn would belong alongside these or is that game too flawed by comparison? I ask because I myself am not sure.

      Oh, actually Disco Elysium would fit right in here as well as a “fully-realized microcosms where the primary game is unfolding the complex origami of the setting”.
