culturally significant games

by no means a comprehensive or complete list, just something that came to mind. i am using a vague and general definition of "culturally significant", by which i mean it's arbitrarily determined by me and no one else. i will say that "culturally significant" does not equate "good", just that culture was impacted in some observably significant way(s). accepting suggestions for what to include

Ao Oni? It was influential enough to get a movie. Yume Nikki didn't even get a movie and they are both running RPG Maker.
