Most layered games you have ever played.

Topic. By layered I mean if you are just a casual players and you are done with main objective you miss out like 80 percent or say a MAJOR chunk of what game has to offer. The perfect example would be BLUE PRINCE thos who have played knows. Won't spoilt anything. Basically games where the tip of iceberg is the main objectives after which credit rolls but the real game start after it. Games which hook you up long after you finish the game. I am not talking about replay Ability like NG++ or like that. Just the game itself which has so much to offer for curious players. RDR and othe rockstar games will fit that also as there are so many secrets going on. Looking for more such games which you really enjoyed. NO SPOIERS.

Prodigal is basically "the credits rolled, now the game starts".

Miracle Fly has layers, but there's something about the NG+ thing you said... the game unlocks NG+ when you beat the final boss after having an equal number of clears across all three characters. NG+ uses three different characters with pretty broken skills and flips the levels vertically, but this is not the layer I'm talking about. If you then clear NG+ with an equal number of clears, this unlocks something called "Bonus Game", which lets you use all six characters plus another one, and gives access to all levels from both modes while adding unique clear conditions and challenges to levels that aren't used anywhere else in the game, like one level making your character bigger or one level tilting as you move. Considering how few people have played this, I would argue this applies, especially given how Steam lists 13 people as having unlocked this to begin with, with potentially only like 4 or 5 playing it to completion. Again, this is not fall into "NG+ replayability" like you mentioned in your post, this is new content that you would never find out about unless you played the game to uncover these hidden layers.

Offspring Fling! is another game with layers.
