I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.

Life.

9 months until your game finally goes beyond loading screen. You pay it permanently and cannot stop playing it - and if you intentionally stop playing, you can't play again. No savestates - which sucks for exploring alternatives. You also don't get asked whether you want to play or not as well - you just get thrown in. Also there is no character selection screen and you start with whatever stats, region, context, etc. you rolled.

However, it is definitely quite interesting and gives you really very realistic experiences. Did I mention, that it's much better in its immersion than all the AR/VR stuff and co? You even can properly smell and taste stuff there!
