It's been a while since I finished playing Anodyne 2 but the game, which centers around taking you through fantastical vignettes detailing beautifully written stories tied together by a strong central plot, continues to stick around in my head in the same way a nice song does (the soundtrack is also a joy to listen to). Even more laudable is how well the writing manages to bypass the more irritating genre conventions that other indie media from similar spaces often have. I think going in without any specific knowledge helped endear it to me, so all I'll say otherwise is that it's very, very good.
