The scorpion and the frog
A scorpion asks a frog to carry him over a river. The frog is afraid of being stung during the trip, but the scorpion argues that if it stung the frog, both would sink and the scorpion would drown. The frog agrees and begins carrying the scorpion, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When asked why, the scorpion points out that this is its nature. The fable is used to illustrate the position that no change can be made in the behaviour of the fundamentally vicious.
The vanishing of Ethan Carter
The vanishing of Ethan Carter came out this past september on Steam. You play a detective who has to find Ethan Carter. This game is all about the narrative, scenery and atmosphere. This isn't an action/adventure game. This is very similar to Dear Esther.
Drive
Drive is a movie from 2011 and in my opinion one of the most underrated films from at least that year. It's about a stuntman who befriends a neighbour and things spiral out of control when he tries to protect his neighbour's family. Drive is not your typical action movie. It really, really isn't and should not be viewed as one. The movie speaks through body language, color, lighting, atmosphere, camera view and silence. Sure, dialogue is present, but most of the dialogue comes from the aforementioned things. As you can see from the above pictures, the blue-orange contrast is heavily used, but that is just one of the many color schemes used. It's hard to tell more, you just gotta see it. Plus the soundtrack is awesome.
