Terry Cavanaugh is a game creator. He has about ten cross-platform freeware or shareware games on his site.
VVVVVV is based on a single concept/control scheme, in the vein of the best old games: you move left to right and the spacebar moves you from the floor to the ceiling (and vice versa). I love games that reveal their spatial logic to you through your own experimentation (rather than tutorials of their systems), where they introduce one mechanic that you master intuitively, and then increase the complexity incrementally in these abstract ways. I've embedded a flash version of it below. You can download a standalone version of the same two levels below for free at thelettervsixtim.es
Judith, on the other hand, is unlike any other 'game' I've played. This is a piece of art; this man is a video game artist. Essentially you are able to move in a 3D environment and you have to figure out how to make the story progress, which takes about 15 minutes to finish. It's really creepy but not really gory; certainly not survival-horror-action. Free download for Mac and Windows.
