As I do every January for the past 10 (!!) years, I've collected my absolute favorite media that was new to me in the past year. That qualification makes my lists unique, since I've rarely played any of the hottest GotY contenders (I'm slow, but I usually get there).

The game features a time loop mechanic and has you uncover a mystery. You learn more by talking to different people each loop, or using trial and error to test different outcomes.
I thought it was absolutely brilliant, and I went back and finished the game after the event. I even completed each of the possible endings. If you've not played it yet, give it a go next time it's on sale (which it is now, at various storefronts).
