IMO Braid was a success of its time, when digital distribution started enabling Indie developers to reach mass audiences.

Yet I think the reason why the game reached so far was due the Humble Bundles.

While I think this was a competent game with interesting mechanics, there were better indies that I would love to play again (if extended).

Can anecdotally confirm as it is only in my library because I got it via humble bundle. Secondarily because it worked back then already in Linux.
