Weird little games; the best.

a collection by alekkek · last updated 2024-12-05 16:55:40

Weird little games/experiences of whatever kind that have caught my attention and blasted any expectations of quality that I had.

Some of the reviews have been written years after playing the games, this will make sure I am unable to (even if I wanted to) spoil any of the best surprises these games hold.  Of which there are many I assure you.

Explore the supernatural landscapes of your ancestor's Memory World in this surreal, 3D adventure.

Finish this one for me, please. I had such a real and terrifying Deja vu while playing that I had to leave it and haven't been able to play it again. Anyways it's aesthetics are phenomenal and it is quite well written. 

Run! Jump? Swim?! Mr. Platformer can do it all!

takes a bit of time to start getting good but it sure does. Take this advice, be patient.

I don't quite want to spoil much for this one, for it has captivating twists. But it's stellar textures and solid sound design made this a memorable experience for me. 

Lose yourself in a cathedral-like train station from the near future.
Adventure
alekkek says

Funny, strange, very dense and very varied. A bizarre train station which seeks nothing but to put on display any random idea the creator must have thought "This could be funny lol".

Explore strange interactive 3D dream worlds.
Adventure
alekkek says

The one that started it all, this is what I compare basically every other vaguely similar game to. Beautiful scenarios, unique characters, a puzzling and implicit story line which unfolds beautifully to attentive eyes. Not sure I can express quite how I feel about this game, I love it, and I even have original screen shots of when I first played. Very recommended! 

a stage for the psychosis to play
Adventure
alekkek says

Not for the faint of heart, also not for the faint of sight. Beware extreme flashing lights, absolute nonsense and general psychedelia (but not that hippie crap). 

Floppy ragdoll rpg sandbox with physics-based combat
Role Playing
alekkek says

Very silly, very fun, also very funny. A game I wish existed when I was much younger when I could have dissected it inside out without a care in the world. 

A short story about a municipal building eater.
alekkek says

Maybe the best looking game I have encountered on itch.io. Incredible art direction with very contrasting colors and intricate, ornate shapes. This game is very well written and its message will be difficult to forget. 

Role Playing
alekkek says

Another one which I'm sure I could've dived deeper into. Goblet Grotto is a silly RPG with delectably crude and unique looking spaces. 

Surreal exploration game based on my own dream journal
alekkek says

Honestly didn't play this as much as I think I should've. Simply put, this is a LSD dream emulator sort of experience (without the obscure nonsensical systems). Which will certainly scratch an itch for weird worlds alien to even our rules of existence.

I'm not gonna say much here, just there is quite a lot to see. And, what there is to see is very interesting!

A stylized horror adventure game

simply beautiful, one of the more interesting looking PSX styled gamed. 

Explore dreams worlds and discover the truth behind them.
Adventure
alekkek says

Varied and unique "liminal dreams", and a hub world that responds to your progress, make this game worth the while. 

building an even perfecter doghouse.

Fun, a bunch of different endings. Give this a try. 

i'm feeling like i wanna grab the pearls
Adventure
alekkek says

This game is fun. The island it is set in, while somewhat small, feels very varied and dynamic. 

Stroll through the waters of a concrete realm.
Adventure
alekkek says

Not sure there is much of value I can say aside of "p l a y  i t". Seriously, its insane atmosphere will immerse you like nothing else. 

Explore an abandoned mall, make some returns, and scrounge for some nice little gifts.
Adventure
alekkek says

Rather entertaining little exploration adventure. Always happy when games reward exploration. 

The world is saved. Its heroes wait to die.

Subtle and effective worldbuilding through the eyes of a the last of a race of shunned heroes make this short game worth the while. Mind you there is no gameplay. 

a series of real bad days
Adventure
alekkek says

Short n sweet, great aesthetics, a beautiful track at the end, very funny writing and surprisingly good world building.

An AI is your only friend.
alekkek says

Played this so long ago and yet it has stained my brain quite a bit. Great game for getting a feel of what I call "Weird little games", for lack of a better term. (Maybe liminal would work? bit over played tho.)

A game about giving.

Instant classic. Devastating the files were lost on this one, but I believe the creator is somehow trying to continue. Keep an eye for when this fully releases. However, as it is right now, it is absolutely phenomenal
