I haven't played it yet, but the character design of this game is truly uncanny, I think it because of the proportions of the faces, all the characters have human like face proportions mixed with canine features, giving it a distinct weird look

I never played Poinie's Poin but it looks weird.

Eastern Mind and Chu-Teng are the first ones that come to mind.

I did a list with a lot of weird games of that style on backloggd if anyone is interested: https://backloggd.com/u/HeidenNaugler/list/strange--surreal/

I was watching a Brazilian channel playing a mobile game about a chicken, there are some virtual pets, but in the end you could turn the animal into nuggets. Grinding the animals.

I haven't seen anyone mention the Hylics games, definitely some very out there experiences:

I always found the Zeno Clash games to also have an uncanny atmosphere to them as well.

Captain Blood and it's sequel, Commander Blood

Both are a pure french sci-fi fever dream that put Fifth Element to absolute shame and I just love them. Shame they haven't had a remaster along with Commader's French only sequel, The Big Bug Bang

I'm a big fan of Paradise Killer, but I definitely wouldn't say it's for everyone. It's a whole lot of reading and figuring things out on your own.

Of the ones I've personally played, and quite liked; I'd probably say Super Galdelic Hour

Very strange mini-game collection type of game about the 4 girls you can play as (Fox, Cat, Rabbit and Bear). Quite fun actually, even though I have no idea what's going on.

A point and click adventure game for PC. If you want a game with a genuinely surreal, almost nightmarish world of a setting, give this one a go. Truly one of the most bizarre games you'll ever play.

Now on Switch! In english!

On Steam as well. I think the English patch of the original PC version is still floating around out there too.

As a kid, playing Drakkhen on Amiga never left my brain. It crept me out so much but the fascination kept me dying a million times before beating it. One of the most disturbing is the, "I love you." Mirage Demon.

And here I thought we were all on consoles, not on PC.

I haven't bought a new console since 2017. Built my first PC the same year and never looked back.

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.

One of the concepts in Planet Laika is that long ago, humans gave their faces to the hivemind that inhabited planet Mars as part of a peace treaty, leaving them looking like dogs. Some people get plastic surgery to try and reconstruct human faces based on old sculptures but it's illegal and the results are horrible. Meanwhile, having faces killed the martian hivemind because it made them individuals, so now Mars is a strange haunted places filled with human fugitives and outcasts slowly driven crazy by the negative energy left behind by the dead martians.

It's an incredibly strange game, actually very philosophical in the end.

Oh, Laika was the dog that the Soviets sent into space in real life in the 1950s, so that's why it's called Planet Laika.
