No idea, honestly.
I haven't been an avid PC player with the exceptions of Team Fortress 2 and other online shooters and whatnot. Anything that I have bought lately is filled with the sickening and highly familiar scent of guns being angled at an awkward position in front of my face.
Out of my gray and white library, the only (obvious) choice that I can actually recommend is Minecraft. Sadly, there's really no story to it(at all), unless you feel like exaggerating something which isn't a bad thing. The adventure part is nice though, especially since they're releasing an update for exploratory causes with dungeons, villages, and quest. Just minor things to add to the sense of adventure that survival mode could offer.
Yet, I'm almost positive that there isn't a person under our sun that hasn't heard of Minecraft, unless you're living in a place where the sun couldn't possibly reach you. Say, a rock?
