Eternal Darkness.
Phoenix Wright series.
SimCity - Ok, not really story wise but still takes some brains to make it work good.

I dunno. As awesome as Eternal Darkness is... it's a lovecraft ripoff in many respects. I mean i'd consider the Romance of the Three Kingdoms games smart but they're based off like a book with over 1,000 pages. |
Eternal Darkness was good, and without the lovcraft elements it would suck. Recycling elements doesn't make a story dumb though. The best stories steel many elements. Anyways to answer the question I agree with the list you have plus what I metnioned but I think the word smart is a bad word to use. I mean Isaac Asimov was a smart writer with "smart stories." I just don't know if your asking that or for "great stories" because they are different. |
I think what made ED smart was the way it tied everything together through many centuries of time and then did it again via 3 alternative realities. Finally when played through all 3 alternatives, the story really comes to life as all 3 were intertwined.

That's a good point... and likely something i overlooked because i played through all three storylines one right after the other within like a week.
