Just ran into this little gem... Ossuary.

http://futureproofgames.com/games/ossuary/

It reminds me of walking around the city in TCB. There isn't too much gameplay here. It's mainly just a walk and talk adventure. However... the writing is fascinating with the authors putting philosophy and satire into the game. You are in an afterlife place full of surreal beings.

Yeah, I definitely got some Bureaucracy vibes from that one when I played it.

Also, there is a free web-playable demo at the URL above. And it is actually a prequel to the proper game.

So I did end up buying and going through this and the demo.

I cannot say the game is worth $10, but it is worth the man who wrote it having $10 more. It's a subtle, but important distinction.

Now I understand why I bought some things.
