I've always been intrigued by the premise of Papers, Please. The idea of conveying the callous inhumanity of authoritarian regimes and the suffocating despair they cause through such mundane gameplay mechanics as shuffling around and inspecting ID documents works amazingly well. There's a terrific short film adaptation of the game by Nikita Ordynskiy here on TH-cam. Highly recommended!
