Games That Look Like Books

Folder: Aesthetic Lists
I don't just mean that it has art that you could see on a paperback novel, it's gotta look like a TOME. Binding, weathered edges, leather texture, an implied spine, etc.

I feel dirty for even suggesting it but... I think Limbo of the Lost fits well, or at least the cover art reminds me of the cover of a book

Great list as always! Did you consider Diablo 2? Weirdly it's the only one in the series that I think might qualify.

@DeemonAndGames, hey it's got a clasp and those metal corners, I'd say it's a perfect fit!
@tendog absolutely perfect suggestion, and not one I ever would have come across myself.
@cowboyjosh the borders definitely work, I'm just not sure if having a big face fits the aesthetic of the rest of the list. I found a collector's edition of III while searching for that though, what do you think of that one?

@thealexmott do you mean this one? To me that looks more like a marble edifice or something than a book. I like the Diablo 2 expansion set you picked though!

I always found that The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link's covers always looked like book covers, but that could just be me.
