Whether it’s a game with simple shapes, limited colors, or a bare-bones aesthetic, what’s the most visually minimalist indie game you’ve played? Did the minimalism enhance the gameplay or story in any way? Would you recommend it?

"Thomas Was Alone" excels in minimalism, using simple shapes to convey deep emotions and storytelling. Its design enhances both gameplay and narrative beautifully.

I agree. The game is visually minimalist, with simple geometric shapes and muted colors, but it uses those elements brilliantly to tell a deeply emotional story. The minimalism enhances the gameplay by keeping your focus on the puzzle-solving and the witty narration, which gives each shape its own unique personality.
