What is the weirdest, bizarre and otherworldy games that you played or seen?

[Viviana Santos]

My experience of weird and borderline insanity games mostly came from Jerma985's stream, they're so out-of-this-world that I need to apply eye drop to make sure my eyes didn't just Event Horizon'd me.

Strawberry Magic (MS-DOS). Nothing much to say honestly, my brain forcefully went into Hibernate Mode 10 minutes into the video, but this game might be the Elden Ring of its time.

Odama (Gamecube). This is uhh, voice-controlled pinball game set in feudal Japan where you Takeshi's Castle your way to the victory. The control alone could rapture "modern audience" in an instant as they witness the ball eliminate your finite army more than the infinitely spawning enemies. And to make matter worse (at least from what I observe), your army from previous stage carryover to the next plus extra bit, so the worse you play = the harder the game gets.

Seaman (Dreamcast). Another voice-controlled game, but this time it's about raising your human-faced fish in tamagotchi-style, as the Seaman growth, you can ask mundane question, philosophical question, and even threatening them to be cooked at rich restaurant and served them to rich family. "The Dreamcast f**king s*ck" as one guy said.

Damn! I totally forgot about Seaman and Odama! Those two games are so bizarre, unique, and incredible! I love Yoot Saito and his games.

An episodic murder mystery adventure game developed for the Xbox Kinect. It was very weird, very charming and very cancelled before it could be finished It's become a bit of a cult classic and is also available on PC.



Grim Fandango is one of my favourites!

Crazy memory trip with D4. It's been 10 years and I'm still disappointed it didn't get continued.

Poinies Poin is one of the strangest games I’ve ever seen. It looks like a kids’ game with candy mascots and bright colors, but then it throws in random curse words, bizarre locations, and even Cartman’s voice for some reason. It feels like someone stitched together a bunch of surreal ideas and just rolled with it. Totally chaotic, but kind of unforgettable.

Here are the games I think that are weird:

• Hylics – Claymation RPG where you punch meat blobs, cast spells from TVs, and talk in dream-speak. Feels like a playable hallucination.
• Cruelty Squad – looks like a corrupted Windows 95 nightmare, plays like Hitman on acid.
• LSD Dream Emulator – literally just walking through dream logic with zero explanation.
• Harvester – 90s FMV horror that’s so disturbing and satirical it loops back to being hilarious.
• Milk Inside a Bag of Milk Inside a Bag of Milk – yes, that’s the title. And yes, it’s as weird as it sounds.
