Depends on what "mainstream" is seen as, but I think Prey could apply to this.

I bought Prey for the Xbox 360 used for around £2 four/five years ago. It has brilliant professional reviews but not many people seem to have heard of it. It is quite old though (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(video_game))

In primary school when my friends talked about COD I used to think they were talking about a fishing game... Irrelevant I know but I just wanted to get it of my chest.

Funnily enough I have actually heard of Prey, but I was only about 9 when it came out! I shall have to investigate it further :smile:
