If you're into puzzle games, there's a Humble Bundle on right now that has a game called "Back To Bed", where sleepwalking, M.S. Escher and Salvador Dali are running around in isometric harmony.

Most def. I'll check it out, along with Invisible Inc. which looks quite sweet too.
It isn't obscure or anything, but I'll mention Sanitarium (1998) just in case.

Years pass, yet my search endures.
To my great delight, retro action-adventures seem to be on the rise again. There's been quite a few I've enjoyed recently. Feel free to add to the list.
Tunic. Great puzzles and level design. Very fun all around.
Immortal planet. Slow and tactical combat, light on puzzles, some RPG elements, grim-dark story.
Hades. Tight combat and high production value. Experimenting with the different weapons was fun but the rogue-like level design got repetitive after a while.
Hyper Light Drifter. Fast-paced gameplay with lots of platform dashing. Hardest game on this list for me.

Amazing timing, I've just been on the same search. Recalled this classic that always looked interesting to me, Solstice
And it's sequel, which I just learned about yesterday, Equinox

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Nosferatu the Vampyre, even if it looks a bit janky:
There's also the modern game Lumo which is a spiritual sequel.Amazing timing, I've just been on the same search. Recalled this classic that always looked interesting to me, Solstice

Tim Follin nailed it with the theme song, and Lumo's elevator easter egg track also rocks, taken from the Your Sinclair UK magazine.
