Virginia

If you're expecting a mystical Lynchian experience - don't. In its trippier moments Virginia is not surreal but allegorical. This is a game full of drama and objective narrative that is only obscured by absence of character speech and fast Thirty Flights of Loving-style montage. It's just a dramatic police-buddy story. However, telling a tale using exclusively animations and environmental setpieces is a challenge of its own - one that was succsessfully overcome in this game.
Music, though... It almost never ceases. Which is detrimental both to rhythm and tension.
It's a good and almost unique game with a lot of effort put into it. It's also short and cheap, especially on sale, so give it a go, why not?
PS
But if you are still looking for a mystical Lynchian experience, play Paratopic.

This is going to sound pretentious as hell, but Virginia feels less like a video game and more like an art piece to me.
If you don't want to pick apart symbolism and you hate David Lynch, then you should look elsewhere.
However -- if you're open to it, Virginia is really incredible.
The story is dialogue - free, frequently confusing, and rarely told literally.
The writing has a very "show, not tell" mentality; in a way, the "gameplay" emerges from the satisfaction of picking apart what exactly is happening in each scene.
On my first playthrough of Virginia in 2017, everything went over my head, and I walked away feeling like I had just sat through a dull and confusing acid trip for two hours. It is totally possible that you will feel that way too.
But: having given it a second chance with the knowledge that it was not going to be easy viewing, I've come away feeling that Virginia is a uniquely enjoyable experience that uses the medium of video games to tell a story in a way I've never seen before.
If you, like me, intentionally seek out games that do new and exciting things, you should really try out Virginia.

reminds me of David Lynch's films
aka "I don't understand what it's telling me about, but it is creepy and I like it."

Like many, I was confused on whether or not to recommend this game. I will start by saying that its more of an enjoyable sit through watching a movie-type game, rather than playing a game. I enjoy doing these every once in awhile. I played a similar type game called Manifest 99 which is more of a watch and play on the VR. I recommend both on the visual art alone.
To summarize the game, you're an FBI agent Anne, who's set on a case to find a missing teenage boy. The game eludes to the idea you'll be working with a partner in the case to solve it, however, the story near the ending hours open up this strange series of events.
This is why I think many players might have difficulty liking this game. Items you can read in the game, you're hardly given enough time to read them. You are cut off from looking around for too long. The end series sequences make a little sense, but not a whole lot unless you understand what the developers were thinking. I happened to like this game because from an artistic stand point, it is unique and interesting. However, the ending did leave me a bit confused.

Virginia is a really short and interesting walking simulator. It is told all without any dialog but a beautiful score. and utilizes a lot of film making techniques. such as hard cuts. The score is beautiful the art style is great and it has a very dreamlike quality to it.

This is a neat little interactive experience with an engaging story, a great score, and no uncertain amount of Lynchian influence. I mean, one of the main tracks in this game is pretty much a reprise of the Twin Peaks theme. If you like symbolism, abstract narratives and writing that's always in danger of disappearing up it's own backside, you're likely to enjoy Virginia. Just keep in mind the game is roughly two hours in length, so I wouldn't pick this up for anything other than the standard sale price. Right now it's £0.69. For that, this game can serve as a strong litmus test to see if you like pretentious interactive stories. I certainly do.

Virginia is not quite a game and not quite an interactive movie either. It's pretty much a story playing in front of your eyes which requires minimal amounts of interaction from the user. The story is interesting till somewhere near the middle where you can tell the writers lack of structure did not help them. Apparently some people do experience motion sickness during this but I did not have any trouble with that. Overall I'd recommend it for a one time try since you can finish it in less than 2 hours easily. The cuts are a nice gimmick but they don't allow the user to finish reading certain documents that are pretty important if you don't want to get entirely confused near the ending.
