Looking for some interesting little one-offs similar to these:
Dredge
Have a Nice Death
Cult of the Lamb
Something with style and a story, that isn't necessarily AAA or a franchise.

Not sure whether these will be quite what your looking for, but they're interesting in their own way:
- Arkham Horror, which is a VG adaptation of a board game I used to play (though it does lose something in the translation.)
- Telltale is fairly well known, but if you haven't tried them, I can recommend all three of Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and Wolf Among Us.
- Frostpunk, a survival RTS that I found to be a really clever game idea.
- Hand of Fate 2, I mention the sequel because I thought it was better than the original, but both are a combination of rogue-RPG and a Magic-ish card game.

Haven't heard of that boardgame in a while. The Cthulu-eqsue one right? Played it a few times way back, was fun stuff. Spent an entire game in portals, never out for longer than it took to jump into another one. Rarely been as lucky as I was that night (I survived by the skin of my teeth) but we beat the bigbad. Watched a YT Frostpunk playthrough of A New Home, thanks for the suggestion. "Cool" concept.  The frost storm approaching was well done on the map. Superbly ominous.

Can you give more details of what you want? Just some AA games or something more specific?

Hey, if you are looking for stories, it is quite old, but you can still get it on GOG, you could try: "The Dig" I say it is a great story. I loved it so much
And also the Monkey Island series if you did not play it already

Can you give more details of what you want? Just some AA games or something more specific? Examples above for art styles. Colourful, immersive, stylistic as opposed to realistic.
Stories, linear rather than open-world quest fluff. Better if the game is wrapped around the story rather than a story getting forcibly crammed into a game. Could be comedic like "High on Life" which is basically a non-franchised Rick and Morty episode, or something a bit more dour like Alien: Dark Descent. Both commit to their style and execute it well.
Mostly I suppose I'm looking for smaller titles of relatively well made games that I may not have heard of.
Another example would be Starship Troopers: Terran Command. That game, visually, put me right back in the old movie. Also has that fatalistic satirical humour thrown into the campaign to sell it.
I'm not looking for a type of game genre like say, RTS or platformer specifically. Aesthetic and plot.
