You're telling me Total Distortion isn't a FPS like Marathon? The dude on the front cover looks like the protagonist from it though.

The game is so fucking bad, but it stands out from the horde of SNES shovelware platformers because it's so goddamn bizarre that it ends up being bad in ways you would never even imagine a game to be bad.
Some "doors" are just screaming sprites of heads, the city is genuinely dangerous and you can't tell which characters are harmless and who will mug you. One guy will walk right by you and mug you only when you have a lot of money and before you enter the bar, and this easily makes the game unwinnable. There's something I actually kind of love about it because it's so weirdly creative, I think it was just really rushed, considering at one point in the game you're told, I quote, "Holli has become real and gone over to your world where she might damage the whole interworld matrix or something."

It reminds me of pic related, which is also objectively pretty bad but at the same time unironically one of my all-time favorite games Going into the "Distortion Dimension" will probably kill you, it's extremely easy to get stuck in a position where you can't make it back to your home without dying. There's an item that you can get to teleport you back but it requires you to solve a very difficult puzzle and naturally the game is bugged so it doesn't actually work at all. Also if you go to sleep at your house you have to play a minigun where you fight off "BAD DREAMS" with a dreamgun or else you'll have a nightmare and actually lose energy.
