I'm a huge fan of the Myst series, which has a cult following fandom. They're primarily a series of point-and-click adventure games from the 90s, but they also have three companion novels which are critical to understanding the entirety of the story and also really freaking good. I recommend the books as part of the experience for anyone interested in the games.
The story is that there was once an ancient civilization with the ability to travel to worlds they described in books. Until (spoiler) caused their civilization to collapse, and the the survivors scattered to the wind. The characters in the games are the human-mixed descendants of that civilization, and the novels go more into its backstory as well as that of the main character aside from yourself. In the game series, you have to use books to travel to different worlds and solve puzzles while piecing together story elements.

I like The Secret Series, by Pseudonymous Bosch. It is about a group of people trying to stop an immortality cult from discovering the secret to the state they seek. (I suck at summaries.) It's a kid's series, but it is still amazing.

Lesley This might be a little off topic, but that sounds interesting, I love puzzle games. Is there an order between the books and the games?

Happiness can be found,
even in the darkest of times,
if one only remembers to turn on the light.

i'm not directly active in any fandoms anymore but i like perusing the carry on, raven cycle, and throne of glass fandoms. i know those aren't exactly little-known books, but still.
as for game fandoms, i used to look at the infamous second son fandom, and i used to be a big part of the wizard101/pirate101 fandom but then some stuff happened and i hate most of the people there now. :')
i also tend to stay away from the mega-super-big fandoms, specifically the steven universe one, even tho i like su a lot.

Sort of. You can play all the games without ever reading the books and still enjoy them, but if you do then you're also missing out on huge chunks of storyline. People have different orders, depending on if you're interested in the chronological story or playing the games and then reading the books.
It's really up to you, although I honestly had more fun with the later then when I tried the former on my second read/play.
The chronological order:
Book of Ti'ana (first book) --> Book of Atrus (second book) --> Myst (first game) --> Riven (second game) --> Book of D'ni (third book) --> Exile (third game) --> Revelation (fourth game) --> End of Ages (fifth game)
There's also an MMO of sorts called Uru, which is connected to End of Ages. I don't recommend it until you've watched and read everything else, though.
The first two games plus End of Ages and Uru are on Steam, but Exile and Revelation I had to buy CDs of. The novels are sold for fairly cheap on Amazon.

WolfSoulweaver I've actually read the Inheritance Series, it's Eragon and all that, right? I don't think that fandom is small so much as people aren't so willing to talk about it after that movie (which sucks, the books are rad!). I've also read at least the first Artemis Fowl (like, 5 years ago?), but it wasn't really my style at the time. Maybe I'll give 'em another shot!
Also, I super love both of those games, especially B2S!! It's been a while, though...
@
Lesley Eyy, one of my friends is super into Myst (kinda to the point where I stopped listening haha)! I didn't know there were books, though. Or the whole book-travel premise, tbh, that sounds super interesting, I'm def going to check out the games, thanks!
