Experimental

Games that defy the traditional approach to game design and offer unique, interesting and often strange experiences.

Suggest updated description

Text based

Focused on using its text, moreso than its visuals or audio, to tell the bulk of its story/plot. (Still can have great audio and visuals, though!)
