Ice Pick Lodge is different. They persist regardless of trends. Their games make you uneasy and leave you changed, wondering.

I see the dreams so marvelously sad

 

The creeks of land so solid and encrusted

 

Where wave and tide against the shore is busted

 

While chanting by the moonlit twilight's bed

Sure. They can be frustrating, their games, but I'm glad something so wacky and indeed uneasy is around. Weren't they doing a Pathologic remake?

The Void would get an honourable mention for my Top 20 PC Games for me. In fact, in college it had a part in helping me kick a creative rut and a bout of depression.

 

Also I highly recommend at least watching Cargo! The Quest for Gravity! Freelance Astronauts did an LP of it:

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling
