Experimental games are innovative types of games that challenge traditional gameplay mechanics and narratives. They often focus on exploring new ideas, emotions, or social interactions rather than just entertainment. These games can take various forms, including video games, board games, and interactive installations, and they often encourage players to think critically about their experiences. Many experimental games aim to provoke thought or convey messages about real-world issues, such as society, psychology, or technology. By breaking conventional rules, these games invite players to engage in unique ways, fostering creativity and exploration. Examples include Journey, which emphasizes emotional connection, and Papers, Please, which critiques bureaucracy and morality.
