Out of curiosity, how does Pure apply to this?

I misspelled earlier, I meant Pyre, sorry about that
Ah, no worries. Still curious as to how, I haven't played it myself.

Her Story tells a somewhat simple and very cliche story in a fascinatingly non-linear and original way.

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward is a non-linear narrative where the branches of the story don't just affect it other vertically, but also horizontally — it's not only your previous choices that matter, buy also choices and things you discover on other, at first glance unrelated narrative branches.

Ultima IV is all about creating a personal and spiritual journey through the interactive medium. It's also probably the only game with a morality system where you actually have to care about morals.

Haven’t played yet, but Nier Automata because of the various routes and endings and stuff (don’t think the anime series will work because of that)

I will argue for Majora's Mask. The whole three-day time limit is essential to make the story deep and meaningful, and I don't think you can capture that in any other medium as Majora did.
