I don't care what your definition of "weird" is just post games that are in some way unconventional, strange, eccentric, you know how it goes

And no arguing about how someone else's idea of weird isn't absurd or refined enough for your gay hipster tastes

>>713905603
Yeah it's pretty good, if you're not sure play the original version it's free

It's like what every, pardon the gay language, "schizo-core" game tries to be, except with none of the lame performative normalfag bullshit of what that entails, it genuinely feels like the dev likes weird esoteric ideas and this is an earnest appreciation of them and the expression of his mind
Not that modern /x/ tourist "oooo spooky triangles me me so tinfoil theehee me cwaaaazy" poser bullshit

>>713904606
Based list, anon. You’ve already covered a lot of the big bizarro hitters. For more obscure weirdness in the jap doujin gutter, check these:

-Ib - classic RPGMaker horror but with that uncanny dream-logic pacing
-Yume Nikki fangames like .flow and Answered Prayers, if you're willing to go spelunking
-Ao Oni but modded to hell
-The Remnants of Isolation - it’s in English but still gives off that “trapped in an RPG engine hell” vibe
-Marisara - doujin bullet hell with avant-garde visual design
-Chzo Mythos - more on the UK end of weird but hits that same existential tone

And if you want full-blown LSD trip programming:
-YNNG: You Need Not Go - jank as hell but dripping with intentional glitch energy
-Gingiva by the same dev as Middens, if you haven’t played it yet (it's like if Dante’s Inferno got rewritten by a sentient cargo cult)

Also try looking into old-school Japanese doujin visual novels. There’s some real unhinged stuff buried in the freeware '00s archives. You will get viruses. It will be worth it.

What are some good first person indies? I'm kinda sick of top-down/RPG maker/"run around and click on stuff in a town" games

>You can always tell that these image compilations are made by a guy who's only knowladge about the game is seeing the cover image a few times and getting needlessly heated about it for some reason
they do it with basically anything that gets slightly popular based entirely on, as the e-kiddies say, "vibes"
ask any /v/ user what game they hate and they'll likely say some big AAA game that the whole forum mocked in the last 2 months
ask them what it's actually about though, and they can't say, cause the only thing they remember is that one image that was circulating endlessly that whole time
"dude that new asscreed game lmao"
"what's it about?"
"uhh.. black-dude-look-smug-at-camera.jpeg"
"what else"
"...b-black-dude-look-smug-at-camera.png??"

its like the justin bieber thing all over again

>>713910715
Indeed. Game's basic af, as stated in picrel.

Taps the sign

>>713910689
That is the general consensus on the game, I just picked a random one. It was hard finding someone actually talking about the game instead of jerking off to the main character.
>Twitter
Yes, that's where the game's main target audience is.

Maybe not. But there's a least some truth to it if the majority shares the same thoughts on it, don't you think? Otherwise, why would so many people think that way?

>>713911893
whatever you say twitterfag

>>713912012
normalfags fear nothing more than to be normalfags these days
its like game NPCs who have figured out theyre NPCs but dont know what to do about it
so they try and pass as player characters by doing superficial things like using 4chan or getting attached to web in-group slang and culture but with none of the actual non normie mindset
like if the NPC started crouch jumping to convince you hes a player too
but then you talk to him and he just goes on about ice cream and you realize its all fake

legitimately, i'm not even trying to be insulting, but why is this sorts thing so much more common nowadays? is it like a normie cope or something? the result of psychotherapy culture teaching the average person that everyone who disagrees with them is loony and must be wheeled off and medicated? or just kids forgetting how to read anything that's longer than a single sentence?

>>713913017
Pretty much all of the above

Plus don't forget irony poisoning made it forbidden to have emotions so the only way you can discredit someone is by implying they have them

>>713911791
look at this sex bug

>>713912229
accurate take

>>713913017
you're sincerely comparing humans to npcs gaining self-awareness, you sound delusional
if you can't see that or at least how someone else could arrive at that conclusion then you yourself lack self-awareness ironically enough

>>713913017
>meltdown still going
This is great.

>>713913258
>you

it's called a metaphor, we used to use those here on the ol net before all posts became the angry 1-sentence outrage filled mobile posts you know them as

Lol welcome to 4chan kid, "true and honest 4chinnies don't say 'normie'" is a myth as stupid as "reddit spacing"
It's something newfags invented so they can get performatively angry at everyone and pretend they're the only oldfag in the room
It's an obvious tell that you're trying to fit into a culture you don't understand, like when a gay guy tried to act super straight so he goes all over the top like "grrrr I love lifting weights and sportsball and OH MAH GAWSH- Er, I mean, OH MY MANLY TESTOSTERONE Bill are you drinking a milkshake? Y-YOU MUST BE GAY, I'M NOT GAY, YOU'RE GAY!"

We always said it

>>713913734
the only people who use it are those who don't like using the word fag

>>713913826
Literally only in the modern day culture war can you come up with some shit like that

god i hate normalfags so fucking much they have the entire world to themselves and they still choose to come to our little chinese goat herding forum and pretend like they belong

wish we could nuke em but unfortunately they kinda hold up society
like the bubblewrap of the world
necessary yet worthless at the same time
just wish they could leave us the fuck alone

>>713913898
thats pretty much what happened with every single oldfag aspect
>do something for years

>"reeeeee why are you doing that thing? fuck off newfag"

>>713914051
Just how frustrated are you? Clearly, mass manipulated cattle is a scourge, but that's no reason to threaten nuke 'em, if you lack the nuke to nuke 'em.

>>713914245
i will make the nuke and i will fuel it with my RAGE

>>713913826
redditors love coming here to say fag. I'm not even jesting.

>>713914393
yeah p much the only thing 4chan still has going for it is the fact that you can say nigger faggot kike and so on and usually not get b&
why do you think there's more edgy underages than ever?

yeah, but that's by design, it's still weird, op didn't ask for GOOD weird games, that would be balancing on way too much subjectivity

>>713915376
I concur.

>>713921778
not saying you shouldn't post about it just airing out my thoughts is all

A couple months ago I made a similar post on reddit so I'm surprised to see basically the same thing I asked on reddit, but also kind of nice, thank you anon

I'll funnel some of my answers from reddit here just to make a big catalog, but one I can personally attest to that I'm surprised isn't mentioned here at all is the Disillusion series, namely Disillusion and Disillusion ST, those games were amazing and I wish I could replay them again, especially st, I had such a blast and it was such an enjoyable and heart warming experience I wish it didn't have to end, I'm excited about forgetting bits and pieces of it so I can replay it again and be amazed, the creator is also working on another game in the same universe called Life Seeker and the updates he posts also look amazing, can't wait to play it, anyway here are the other games

(THESE COMMENTS ARE NOT MINE, I thought the people did a good job of explaining the games and I haven't played all of them of them so I can't write up anything better as synopsis)

An airport for aliens currently run by dogs -- more or less an open world walking sim with fetch quests. I find the graphical choices charming, personally.

Critters For Sale -- epilepsy warning. A point n click collection of short stories that are mostly kind of about the devil.

Deadly Premonition -- think "GTA: Twin Peaks". The combat sections are regrettable.

Dogolrax -- Unrated. Swaps genre every few minutes.

>>713922629
Continuing

Everhood -- If undertale was a rhythm game.

Hypergalactic psychic table tennis 3000 -- Apparently this pong game has dating sim elements, I haven't found them yet though.

Hyperrogue -- Technically VR compliant! Many terrifying graphical options. Simple roguelike in a noneuclidean space.

Squirrel Stapler -- Horror, maybe half an hour long or less.

Trombone Champ -- Rhythm game. There's an option to change the sound font for your trombone into fart noises, and there are many national anthems to play.

Who's Lila -- horror-ish. Point and click, except you control your dialogue choices by manually manipulating a face to try to create facial expressions on a timer. Have you ever heard of tulpas?
Slay the Princess -- imagine if The Stanley Parable tried to have a coherent arching narrative.

Pinball Spire -- Pinball metroidvania.

Rollers of the Realm -- Pinball party-based RPG.

Wizorb -- Breakout / Zelda.

Realms of the Haunting -- a 90s FPS that also wants to be a point and click adventure.

Antichamber -- first person abstract puzzle game.

Awareness Rooms -- RPGMaker horror where your surroundings get steadily less abstract as you learn more about what's going on.

Broken Reality -- a love letter to 90s low-poly collectathons and early multiplayer chat games.

Bugsnax -- Pokemon, but they look like food! That you can eat! Does not flinch away from how weird that is.

Fit For A King -- a love letter to the early ultima games. Play as King Henry VIII! You can marry, knight, jail, or execute basically anything. Your goal is to throw a fancier party than the french king.

Manifold Garden -- wander around environments that look like escher paintings in first person.

Broken reality - Just the aesthetic -- it's a singleplayer experience, but you wander around a fake social hub

>>713922792

Stray Cat Crossing, and Hello Charlotte - these ones are mine actually, especially the former I think was in the limelight from let's play channels when it came out but has fallen out, RPG games but I think they have lots of charm even against some of the other big names

Deadly Premonition
Baba is You is the most abstract puzzle game I can think of. It also has the hilarious side effect of making most people mumble in broken english while playing it.

Color Assembler -- Combine colors to get other colors, in a mathy way.

Edge -- flippyfloppy to get a cube to the end

Globesweeper -- Play minesweeper on a globe or cube, with square, hex, or triangle grids.

Mini Metro and Mini Motorways -- Direct traffic flow.

Sokobond -- try to bond with other chemicals in the right order and direction.

Wave Mechanics -- You know those puzzles where when you click one thing, it and all neighboring tiles swap to the opposite color? Imagine if that was shaped more like a crossword.

Waveform -- sync up a wiggly line to the wiggly line on the screen.

Zenbound -- Tie up wooden blocks as evenly as possible with as little string as possible.

Yon Paradox isn't abstract, and I'm not sure if it qualifies as good exactly in terms of playability, but it's a timeloop game where you're trying to get to places.
Greyfox is an interesting one. A lot of it isn't horror, but there's this one part...

The Last Word -- has a very unique conversation-based combat mechanic and a pleasant story.

Omori -- Emotionally Devastating Horror.

Why Am I Dead At Sea -- a classic!

Duskers -- Scavenge ships for parts in the post-apocalyptic space future. Don't let anything bad aboard your ship.

Fishing Vacation -- Gameboy aesthetic, fishing gameplay, a smattering of story around the edges if you look around.

Judero is the weirdest game I've played in years

>>713923054

Another game I wanted to mention again is Peripeteia, while I wouldn't count it as exactly weird, it's very unique and a very good InSim

Growing my Grandpa -- A little girl finds something strange in the basement of her new house that she doesn't fully comprehend, and plays with it, without any adult guidance.

I live under your house -- Play as something. You have a life cycle. Things sure are loud aboveground. Go check it out?

Pine Creek -- Casual smalltown fun, until something bad happens. Investigate.

Scanner Sombre -- Graphically gorgeous. The writing is a little "who was phone" at times. Still good campy fun.

Doki Doki Anomaly -- An SCP dating sim that is incredibly accurate to both SCP lore and the dating sim genre. You are studying SCP 80085, the glasses that make people see things as an anime waifu, usually leading to their death. There are three datable SCPs, each with two achievements -- one for being kissed, one for being killed.

This is not your house -- I can't describe this surreal choose-from-multiple-options experience. Check youtube for a few minutes of gameplay, it goes off the rails fast.

Fatum Batula

Paratopic

Tux and Fanny

Elation for the Wonder box 3000
AI: The Somnium Files - Weird in the sense of having a wacky sense of humor and no shortage of nonsensical moments that is somehow still compelling as a mystery.

QuQ - A weird visual novel in terms of story and in the sense of being abstract. I still don’t know what goes on in it.

Lucah: Born of a Dream - I’ve only played some of it, but I think it fits the vibe aesthetically and storywise.

Closer to Home

Egg Squeeze

77p egg: Eggwife - A weird game to be sure, but I don’t know how anyone can possibly play this unironically. It’s a game that’s weird for the sake of being weird without utilizing it in any meaningful capacity.

One I also wanted to mention a lot is "The Void", it was made by the same people who made the Pathologic games, but they also made another game that I've personally loved for its style since my childhood called "Knock-knock", it's weird, obtuse, and I've never gotten close to beating it because I was a kid, but I'll always remember it, that and Fran Bow have been some of the most influential horror games (games in general) for me, as for The Void, I didn't finish it, I got into Higurashi, the gameplay is again a little obtuse as is with most of these games but it is beautiful in its own charming way
