My favourite game of this year was The Roottrees are Dead (@roottrees.com), and I'm surprised I haven't heard more people talk about it!
Their use of diegetic tools to take notes and browse sources is amazing. I would love more like this, especially in a to-the-point form factor like this.

Tech oligarchs oppose the idea of any supposedly undeserving person getting financial help from the government in 2025. But they want you to believe they’ll give *everyone* free money in the future.
It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s the techno-utopian lie they will keep selling.

Tinder also has (or had?) a desktop web interface, which also included a boss key that turned it into something resembling a static Google Spreadsheet. Good stuff.
