Game: Anodyne

Describing the indie creation of two-man team Sean Hogan and Jon Kittaka requires more than a single comparative line, and much more to understand it.  I'm still working on understanding it.  But the experience of Anodyne is The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening set inside a Hieronymus Bosch triptych.  While much of the adventure is surreal and abstract self-reflection, just as much is cemented in the concrete gaming mainstays of monster slaying, item collection, and puzzle solving.
