I’m not a big fan of plot twists either, they tend to feel a bit cheap. My favourite recent twist is in the game Little Hope though. It wasn’t the best written in terms of consistency, but it made emotional sense to me. I’ve had similar experiences, so the metaphor of demons, witch trials and mist you can’t escape from really resonated with me, and the idea of the bus driver was quite neat. I know people don’t like the cliche of “it was all a dream”, but to me, it wasn’t a cheap use of the trope, the story was a daily reality for the bus driver rather than a consequence-free escape from it, and the characters all had real significance to him.
