If you think that, you're not looking hard enough. There are countless incredible (and bold) indie games doing really interesting and unusual things. Off the top of my head: - Outer Wilds (an entire solar system is a puzzle stuck in a time loop) - Hades (a roguelike where dying progresses the story) - Slay the Spire (a hybrid deckbuilder/roguelike where different runs can produce drastically different gameplay and builds) - Dead Cells (a hybrid Metroidvania/Roguelike with Diablo-style random weapon/item spawns that force the player to use different strategies with every playthrough) - Into the Breach (from the guys who made FTL) - Undertale (a fourth-wall-breaking RPG in which you can talk your way out of any battle, with multiple endings) - Signs of the Sojourner (a narrative deckbuilding game where your cards represent different types of conversation) - Her Story (a game all about watching pieces of footage from a deposition about a death... or is it a murder?... and trying to figure out what happened) - Baba Is You (a puzzle game in which the rules are also objects in the game that can be moved and changed) - Hypnospace Outlaw (a simulation of an alternate-reality 90's internet) - The Stanley Parable (a game about following directions, or not following them and irritating the narrator) - The Beginner's Guide (a narrated tour through the games of another developer, possibly without their approval)
