Interpretation

I saw the latest Coen brother's movie "No Country for Old Men" and was reminded how much I appreciate movies that allow for personal interpretation. They leave such a long lasting impact and spark inspired conversation between fellow viewers.

Recently I have come across a few games that allow this similar analysis and interpretation and thought I'd share them. I suggest playing through each game first, without any knowledge further than the control inputs. Then read the creator's message or statement. They provide a detailed explanation of what the game-play represents.

Each of these games has been a unique experience I haven't had playing games and that inspires me.
