No-one has to die is a short online game with an emphasis on its story. I don't want to spoiler you, so just play if you want to (takes about 30 minutes), and you may find a few interesting topics in there.
Thanks, that was cool.
Magical Diary -- it has puzzles, although they're only a small part of the game. Ellen reminded me of Less Wrong fairly quickly; I later found out that TV Tropes lists her subplot as a shout-out to Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.
Seconded. Also, the game has a certain amount of replay value due to the different subplots, and being able to rewind is awesome.
What, is the main character named Homura?
Not quite. :P You can use your mouse wheel to scroll backwards a few frames, allowing you to "rewind" the game to a certain extent. This was nifty when I wanted to try something that I knew would prevent me from playing the subplot that I wanted to.
I played it a few months ago. It was quite fun... and, yes, there's one big shout-out to HPMoR (more specifically, to the Bayesian Conspiracy) in interactions with Ellen.
Journey Walkthrough-- this is a walkthrough of a remarkably pretty and peaceful game. Cloaked non-human needs to collect glowy coupons to add to his scarf so that he can leap on to the the higher places and eventually get to a mountain on the horizon.
The landscapes are open, and the running through sand is delightful, if implausible. So is the no-equipment skiing down sand dunes.
The narrator has a tone of peaceful, interested delight at the various events.
The walkthrough is more calming than any amount of New Age music with landscapes that I've seen. I've only watched three out of seven(?) episodes, but I'm expecting to like the rest.
I've listened to the game soundtrack and I liked it; thanks for this!
Ingress is a fun alternate reality game played on android devices. Basically two teams battle for control of various real world landmarks as part of an ongoing plot-line. Good for encouraging exercise and exploration. Very clever use of the device's capabilities, I think we'll see more like it in the future.
Its technically in a closed beta, but its pretty easy to get invites online. PM me your email address if you're having trouble.
