Possibly the best game ever made. An unbelievable triumph, perfection from every perspective. This is the best example of fitting all pieces together while still being experimental. The subversion of classic futuristic aesthetics is astounding. The chamber play aesthetics of the cast with depressing voices telling a grandeur story is also my favorite game narrative to date. The aesthetics, the aesthetics, the aesthetics are what makes it so great. And Red. You wouldn't believe how big of an effect the simple humming feature has.

All of this is done within the framework of a fairly normal game - if you're looking for something this good in a more avant-garde form, NaissanceE is what you're looking for.

On a more personal level, I love its themes of a city, its inhabitants and change. I love this game to death.
