It's noon on a Wednesday, which is a weird time to have a weird video games thread. Post the weirdest video game you know.
A hentai game where you play as a naked boy getting raped by clown women in an underground labyrinth
it's 10am not noon
some games are just weirdly figmented
For me its Seaman

>>738324696what the FUCK is thisabsolute insanity
>>738325290the prelude to this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ6Ygd7q1KI
>>738321921There was this weird "straight shota" dating game that was included in those shareware compilation CDs in the 90s. You played as a student and would date the female teachers. There was no nudity or sex or anything explicit but it used real photos which were actresses who had their appearance slightly changed and had midi versions of licensed music like Bruce Springsteen and George Michael. I think it was called Teacher's Pet or something similar.
Roommania 203.>Serani Poji [ja], a fictional musical group within the game, was jointly developed by Sasaki, producer Yukihiro Fukutomi [ja], and singer Yukichi. The group is heavily influenced by the Shibuya-kei music genre, and would go on to release several records as a legitimate musical group.[5]
>>738325383fucking hell this takes the cake for me, shocked this even exists at all, thanks for sharing anon
This board has become too casual for me to share good games, sorry fellas
L.O.L.: Lack of Love>Lack of Love (or L.O.L.) can be considered a genre-defying game, though it has strong elements of adventure (problem-solving based on exploration) and RPG (character growth and management). The game's unusual premise is the evolution of an alien being.

Tokio>The framing of the game is that the Tokyo metropolitan government, sick of having nowhere on Earth to expand, puts up a space station, “Tokio,” and declares it the 24th ward of Tokyo. So on top of the usual city-management, electoral campaigning, and government-policy stuff, you also have to set space shuttle schedules (it is an Artdink game, after all,) manage oxygen, fly people to the moon, and buy supplies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzPVtd3MzMc

>>738325770i think i saw vinny play this a few years ago, seemed pretty cool
>>738327630I did, and both the base game and the DLC works. It's also very easy to set up
I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk about Space Giraffe.
>>738327734Not even AuSable or All of our friends are dead?
>>738324696what in the god damn
>>738327235It's a difficult line to walk, but as a weird game connoisseur, there's an intangible element of love you can feel radiating from minute details in the real artistic expressions.If it's devoid, maybe you're tasteless, or it's just a borrowed aesthetic.
Strawberry CubesProbably as weird as it gets. Never got far in it, although I have no clue how long it is or if it even has an ending.

>>738327734>Gyossait.Holy fuck, I remember this on Newgrounds and could never remember the name. Kino game, creepy as fuck. >>738328186If I remember correctly, either some stuff is constant and other stuff is generated or all it's all generated. But no ending I'm pretty sure.
>>738327235The answer to this question is indirect, but very interesting.There’s an archetype of user in the retro gaming scene that plays and records footage of a lot of extremely obscure video games, including untranslated Japanese indies; an archetype of user whose rise to cult status coincided with the increasing popularity of ironic/facetious humor on the internet in the 2010s, so they give you the impression of being very self-aware and in on a lot of in-jokes, but, in reality, they’re actually doing it unironically and want you to think they’re a lot smarter and cooler than they actually are.These users are the predominant source of the anti-Haunted-PS1 rhetoric on the internet. They might give you the impression that the only way to play a true video game that’s authentically retro is to play games made by other people at their level of intellect and that anything attempting to imitate Quake-style polygons in a modern engine like Ultrakill or Paratopic are tranny poser shit, when, in reality, a lot of games like that are more sincerely made by smarter people than a lot of what this specific type of user is interested in.The most well-known example of this type of user would probably be Saint (Saintttimmy), who occasionally gets posted here, but there are a lot of guys like him that have similar policies.I would just recommend playing anything that looks good and doesn’t have obvious pride culture/Marxist stuff like pronouns.
Damn I can't remember them right now>>738324696Oh yes this one. Well if it's not my number one it's still in my top 10
>>738325770>criticize the tip of the iceberg>still post something that is borderline surface levelWoah

>>738328585>anon can't readi was right not to share
>>738328585Cosmology of Kyoto is an obscure game. There are games that are clearly better than it, but it’s not popular just because Nexpo talked about Drowned God.
SEAMAN
>>738328638read what? You say casuals (you're right), and you post Kyoto. Everyone knows Kyoto. Top Banana is unironically weirder and more obscure. Unless you posted it as an example of games for casuals
>>738328381>Saint (Saintttimmy)/ourguy/
I've been playing the bomberman hero recomp and it's actually a pretty weird game. The ultra low poly enemies/models give the game a pretty abstract quality at times
>>738329042>read whatthe part where I said I'm not sharing good gamesso i instead shared kyoto instead
>>738329227>recompIs there a unified resource for recomps now that we’ve gotten a few high-profile ones like Unleashed and Majora’s Mask?

I mean how do you even define video game weirdness? Videogames are pretty weird to begin with
>>738330057This is from the same team as Stupid Invaders, right?
Oh the thread already devolved into a dick measuring contest on who knows the most obscure videogame made by some suicidal japanese guy in the 80s while coding by jizzing directly on the motherboard
>>738329835the entire concept of "weirdness" is a nonsense buzzword for normalfags. the only time they use it is to separate "normal" things and "weird" things. but our entire existence is weird.
>>738330143No, Stupid Invaders is French. Armed and Delirious is ISRAELI
>>738321921I've been on a real kick of digging through weird source and goldsource maps, which is much easier to do now that the whole haunted gmod trend has passed. Stuff like Hondo's, Nippers maps and Koumei Satou's mods are real trips but I do wanna go deeper and find some hidden fucked up gem lost in the steam workshop.
>>738330510>haunted Gmod trendThe Quiet Sadness Of Old Garry’s Mod Maps.How is it possible for people like that to make ANYTHING unfun?

>>738330634Everything has the fun sucked out of it if it's done for money. There's something undeniably cool about old maps and the fact some random guy 30 years ago could've put ANYTHING in there, but it's not as fun when some dude is forcing himself to act scared at the Gman to an audience of children to pay his rent.>>738330983This is what got me into this in the first place. Pretty cool

>>738321987Yeah Fromsoft made some weird games before Demons Souls
Somebody help me find this game? I think it was for the Saturn or PS1, and it's a 2D platformer, where the main character looks kind of like an alien and there's an NPC in stage one that's peeing a whole waterfall.

>>738332050super tempo, specifically the first stageboth games belong in this thread :)
>>738325887I saw this screenshot and recognized that art style immediately then I went to the developer's page to confirm it
>>738331914I don't care about soulsborne games and AC but those other games really interest me. It's sad that success stops people from trying to do different things. just like Scott Cawthon
>>738332523>>738325887Oh god me too, i watched a let's play. What a weird experience
Judero!
>>738321921Broken Reality was great
>>738332507>super tempoThat's it.
The Void by Ice Pick Lodge is quite literally the most unique game I have ever seen and played. If you want a truly unique and idiosyncratic game, this is the one.
>>738321921cosmotology of kyoto
>>738332838Wish I didn't find the gameplay as painful as swallowing glass because everything else was amazing
>>738332507
https://youtu.be/VY8RIszyIHk
>>738321921not that weird or hard to find but I really enjoyed Arctic Eggs. The gameplay is alright but it crafted a really cool atmosphere and world to hang out in.Think I paid like2 dollars for it on sale as well, totally worth it
From Vinesauce: Planet DOB. It's like a RE-like game promoting a band's music.https://youtu.be/LROsHPJ30V0
Goes without saying, but Killer7 is such a beautiful game. It kicks ass and it's just strange.
It's a shame you can't have truly unique games like this anymore because there's this weird self-referential thing going where any modern day game like this would be trying too hard into the weirdness like all those itch.io PS1 slop games.
>>738333797I think Yo! Noid 2 is the only good example in that kind of game, but I agree. Millennials' greatest weakness is that they make everything a reference.
Anyone played Labyrinth.os yet? I really want to grab it but it's a little expensive and updating Itch games is a pain in the ass. It was getting patches multiple times a day for a while.
Liking weird indie games makes me interesting and its how I know I'm a little more intelligent than others
space funeralosamu sato's gamesgarage bad dream adventure
Nah, I know I'm a weird non-person that will never fel acceptance or admiration. I just think weird games are cool.
>>738332541You would think success would give you enough money to work with experiments more comfortably than one who's starting from the ground up.
>>738332838Yeah it's my favorite game and a shame I can't play it for the first time again or get anything like it
>>738334870The dev of Space Funeral has been shitposting in videogame format for almost two decades now, and still goes apparently. Goblet Grotto and Anthology of the Killer are both pretty cool.
>>738335194goblet grotto is so cool, anthology of the killer just doesn't hit the same
>>738332541I think their last truly oddball game was Deracine in 2019. Duskbloods looks cool aesthetically and there's weird stuff IN their games like the mimic balls, but it ain't the same. I wish more people acknowledged how funny they can be, like the poisoned fountain in King's Field 4 next to a guy (deeper in the room) who says "don't drink from that poison fountain" after you've probably already done it.
>>738335194AotK is pure Marxist sellout wafflery.
>>738332541>success stops people from trying to do different thingsI mean, would YOU actually work if you had infinite money?
>>738335194Goblet.
I don't have a translation for this one.
>>738335914Goblet.

>>738336478noone asked
https://youtu.be/maVsU8Yyu4g?t=1016
>>738335283Goblet Grotto plays around with conceptualism of a videogame, while AotK is a more or less straightforward story, which is not as exciting I suppose, but I still enjoyed it a lot.I also like reading dev's numerous essays, you can easily tell he thinks a lot about this stuff.>>738335793>Where they cremate the roadkillI liked this dev's previous works and this one was rather impressive, but the decision of doing action combat was really strange to say the least.
Since everyone is posting lists, does anyone happen to posess the first part of this one(assuming there is one)?

soda drinker pro> revenge of the sunfish> egg-likes
>>738337463Revenge Of The Sunfish was clearly made by someone who is actually mentally ill or retarded.
>>738337463>tfw Revenge of the Sunfish 2 never ever
>rated K-A!, a game made by and published by Disney!>look inside>entire levels themed after the main character's fears that are utterly grotesque and off-putting and all of them involve dying in horrific ways somehow>one of the levels is extremely gory and disgusting and involves going inside your own mouth, exposed nerves and allThis would literally never be made today
>>738338362That’s like saying you couldn’t make The Magic School Bus today. The Nightmare Ned cartoon is TV-PG as fuck.
The last genuinely weird game was Hylics 2. Everything since then has been circling the drain and ripping off pre-existing ideas. Personally, I blame Gen Z and their lo-fi fetishism.
>>738338743I'm not talking about the cartoon, I'm talking about the game specifically, it went a lot harder than the cartoon ever did.
>>738337463>soda drinker>better than sunfishin what fucking way?

There was this game called "home" that someone posted here years ago, some pixel "experience" thing with different short chapters work going to work or something while some 80s song played in the back.He even found a download file because a game named "home" is a bitch to find. If you search it, you won't find normally unless you already know what it is.It played and deleted because it was boring, lmao, but it fits the thread. Can't even find a picture of it because, again, hard to search for it.Picture completely unrelated by the way, just another game named "HOME" that I had on my favorites for some reasonhttps://iamqqqqqqq.itch.io/homegameAgain, not the game I previously mentioned
>>738341509There was a game someone posted in a thread some months ago, I think it was a part of some iceberg pic and nobody could find a trace of it on the web but it turned out to be a legit game since this guy uploaded it, no fucking clue how he found itWonder if it's the same game
>>738335793>Barkley 2That one died in the vine, sadly. I think the last dev made the code open source upon shitcanning it.
>>738321921Nice, played Skate Story today.The weirdest game I know is Killer 7,
>>738342135Not exactly related, but I tried playing Barkley 1 recently as part of my research for an upcoming project, and that shit doesn't even have F4 to fullscreen. If Cboyardeeznuts isn't gonna finish the sequel, he better at least port the first one.
>>738333484I need to replay Killer7, at least for Mr Ulmeda
>get to schol on time>get to SCHOL on time>get to schol on time
>>738337685Check out Cheese Dreams, made by the same guy last year. Basically as close as we're gonna get to Sunfish 2, highly recommend it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-7KRweFYyk
I really liked The Norwood Suite from Cosmo D. It's not weird in the same way as like LSD or Yume Nikki, kind of a conventional walking simulator game with light puzzle stuff, but the vibe/setting are very cool. He's got a new game out with more gameplay to it but it's in early access. Similar feel but seems like it's much larger scale, looking forward to the full release
>>738321921weirdest Im not sure but my favorites are Cruelty Squad and The Jingolboth are in my top 10 favorite games

>>738346029Guess I should include a screenshot, the music is also really good too
weirdest I played was mtv celebrity death match for the ps2
>>738335283>>738335368Space Funeral is one of my top 5 games of all time, really loved Goblet Grotto and Magic Wand too. Anthology of the Killer always felt too cutsey and "uwu silly" for my tastes. Sorta stopped paying attention to thecatamites' stuff ever since that project became his "thing" and the Deltarune kiddies latched onto it.
>>738346029Seconding this. One of the coolest things I've ever played, drew Gakvu with huge knockers because nobody else was gonna do it.
>>738345951I do believe there is similar volume of weird games released on the internet after 2020 like before, but they just get overshadowed by trend chasers and larpers.To give an example of a weird game made after 2020, 亡霊の大地(Land of Ghosts).
>>738345951>>>Safe edgy and surface-level "weird", doesn't tackle topics that are actually seriously tabooThis is probably the biggest one for me>Oh, my game is SO EDGY bro!! It would be sooo banned if it became mainstream!>What are the themes?>Depression and trans shit>Also if you make lewd art of my charactes I'll send you death threats
>>738330510if you wanna some source maps, here's almost 900 gigs of tf2 ones https://ar.dnsense.pub/tf/maps/
>>738325412People have really gone all-in on making claiming the protag's imaginary, coping-mechanism friends as trans representation. All because you can switch between them. The entire game is based around a brain tumor.
What do I put in my freak game to make sure no troony zoomies come near it
>>738351421Sincerity and originality instead of insecurity, references and memes
>>738351421Blacksouls is the only game I've seen them bounce off of when it was trying to gain traction on twitter even if I don't recommend going that route.In my opinion just not encouraging or referencing lgbt themes it is good enough, typically those communities only grow and snowball if the creator publicly shows support and interacts with them.
>>738346609Reading the official list of cited influences for AotK is like drinking poison. There really are few things in this world worse than watching a niche video game person with a weird, idiosyncratic ethology get drawn into mean girl politics and start hating themselves to get through the production cycle of a new video game. I can’t ever play a Catamites game again, now that he’s done this.
>>738323529Fuck you

>>738321921Recently I listened to an ASMR reading of all the entries in the dream journal that inspired this game and they were all fairly boring.Literally every single anon who posts their dreams has more bizarre/entertaining dreams.I’m guessing that’s because the vast majority of anons are legitimately mentally ill.
>>738356319this board discovering this game is probably the most surreal thing i have ever seen here
>>738356409the fact it was made in 2002 and is so obscure disturbs me like im viewing something cursed especially hearing that song
>>738353798There's more? That would definitely lessen the appeal. To me, Space Giraffe is some weird Xbox LIVE Arcade title I only played the demo of.
