Wait... those are human bodies? I thought they were just blobs representing germs being flushed down a drain or some shit

>>9944719
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE

BUSHA

>>9944625
>tfw 2 of my favourite games are on there
Vangers and Baroque are both premium games-as-art pieces
Fans of this chart would also probably like MoonRPG, even though nothing about it can be considered grotesque, it carries a similar atmosphere that, though not particularly horrifying, is rich n heavy and really makes the game memorable. Also the music kicks ass.

>germs being flushed down a drain
Incineration is cleaner

a healthy adult should at least be able to visually detect the naked form of the opposite sex at a glance. this instinct is so powerful that you should see it even if it wasn't there.

>>9944857
I don’t have a soiwitch and sadly the psx translation isn’t complete

>>9944869
It's on PC and PS4 too.

>>9944625
abomination rarely gets any love, gg imo

>>9944880
Holy based I didn’t know that, thanks

>>9944524
What game is this?

>>9944625
You should add Garage: A Bad Dream

>>9944869
theres always yuzu

>>9944625
>zero wing
>no Paranoia

>>9945072

>>9944867
>opposite sex
Check your eyes; those are man titties.

>>9944892
You're welcome, anon. I love that game.

>>9945126
This is a female only board

Please mom.

>>9944524
why can japan show bush on game but not porn

>>9944625
Wtf are the qualifying attributes for "grotesque" games.

What about that weird meme LSD game on ps1. Who made this?

>>9945302
THERE'S A HITLER IN MY SNES GAME
OH MY GOD
THERE'S A HITLER IN MY SNES GAME
(laughs)
That's awesome!

>>9944625
does booger man count?

>>9946779
The voice acting in that game was top notch.

>>9945819
>Wtf are the qualifying attributes for "grotesque" games
Grotesquerie. It's kind of self explanatory.

>>9947296
No mouth is pretty tame though.

>>9947296
>>9947328
Scurge: Hive too

>>9944625
You could put Cosmology of Kyoto on there

may i post a game that we can all talk about

>>9947582
Nope

>>9947582
Cope

>>9947582
Soap

>>9947582
Pope

>>9947582
Grope

>>9947582
Just post the game already kiddo

>>9947582
Elope

>>9947582
forgot my picture. pocket monster card game. imakuni, kobayashi, raymond (me)!

>>9944524
zoomercore

>>9944625

I created that, i wanted something sort of in line with science/technology,surrealism and body horror. Like David cronberg/hr giger and Shinya Tsukamoto asethetics. But alot of what I added was "scifi monster aesthetics"

>>9944719
Yes they are. Killing the enemies in this game tells you a backstory of what happened to the townspeople. There supposed to be multiple people morphed together. There is a boss battle quite literally the human centipede.

>>9945072

It's on there

>>9945819
Idk, LSD could count, but I think what hinders me from adding it to that list is that it only has one part of a level that is grotesque. the rest is really some psychedelic fever dream .

>>9948079
You should add Alien Crush then, it fits your criteria.

Also, I agree with a poster in the last thread that you should probably do something about the text, it blends a bit too much into the background.

>>9944524
I played the spanish translation recently and it's actually a quite good game. Very ahead of its time.

>>9948236

Okay, there is some filler that is up for debate.

>>9948284
Yeah did you beat it? I don't know if there is post credits. Because I got to the last part

>>9948362
This is a cool chart. I've been watching it evolve and I like seeing stuff like this come together.

>>9944625
>>9948362
i appreciate the work that went into this, picks like Cruelty Squad, Garage, Hylics 1, Abadox and Scorn are excellent, but some others confuse the fuck out of me
>IHNMAIMS has some semi-gross stuff but i would say even games like Doom and Blood are more grotesque to play
>Contra has 1 gross segment near the end, other than that completely average. plenty of NES games are more gross than this
>Sanitarium has 2 segments that are grotesque and the rest is pretty tame
>Kyoto is just showcasing how nasty ancient japan could be, but not really grotesque
>i'd agree with Tormentum being on if it didn't look and play like a phone game
also you should 100% include Bad Mojo, literally a simulator of exploring someone's filthy as fuck apartment
and maybe Tongue of the Fatman, though I am not sure if that is even a good game, but EVERYTHING about the look of it is grotesque as fuck
and as for modern stuff, Isaac

>>9948079
>I created that
when did you create it? for future reference i think when you make a compilation image you should at least include the year

>>9948362
Why remove System Shock 2? Inside The Many, specifically the crushers and the audio logs, are horrifying. The way the hivemind is described as a "chorus of life" and the interactions you have with it also leaves a pretty distinct mark.

Deeper still is the beauty on both sides of the arguments (Shodan and The Many). Why would you choose cold metal over warm flesh? Why would you choose disgusting living chaos when you could embrace the perfection of metal?

The whole game is about body modification and all the visceral beauty that would entail.

>>9948362
Linda cubed is pretty mild outside of some minor gore, it got the 18+ rating because of a scene where a guy manipulates a corpse to make it look like he's smiling. I guess the monster designs are mildly grotesque, but they're more funny looking than weird. Resident Evil is more grotesque.

>>9949679
I added it back
>>9949072
There are a few scenes where it fells particularly uneasy, I am feeling I have no mouth

>>9949876
If nothing else, the bad ending (original ending) in IHNMAIMS is pretty grotesque.

There was a Japanese grotesque shmup that I think came out on home computers where the protag has been embedded inside a biological ship and I think there was some sort of floating lady who was with him, like a fairy or something. I have no idea about the plot because it was Japanese, but I think that in the final cutscene, he remained trapped inside this flesh ship. I heard about it here on /vr/. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

>>9945126
>only the nipples need to be censored
>male tits don't need to be censored
>therefore you can censor boobs by putting male nipples over them

>>9949876
>dark seed II
lmao, I can understand the first one as that has many grotesque screens (dark world Kitchen and life force leech room especially), but the second one's interpretation of the dark world is just edgy wonderland with Giger art scattered around.

>>9949928
Galshell

>>9944625
although it isn't a game like the others on the list, what about Saya no Uta? The cg renders and art still stick with me years later. Cool list anon.

>>9950143
No, but it was a horizontal shooter like what seems to be the first one. It started with a cutscene that had a series of screens zooming out of the ship to show the guy inside of it. Thanks, though

how about Chiller? that game is pretty gross

>>9944857
You and I seem to be on the same wavelength. I finished Baroque recently and loved it, and I have Vangers on Steam.

If you're anything like me, you'll enjoy Hell Night from that chart, it's nowhere near as artistic as Baroque but it goes very interesting places in the latter part of the game. Even near near the beginning though you should have an inkling of how different it's going to be when you see the scene with Razzo when you enter the Mesh.

I'd like your take on the ending of Baroque if you don't mind. [Spoiler] Why was "God" unable to fix the distorted world? I get that there's a message about accepting your nature as a flawed being instead of striving for a non-existent (and dangerous) perfection.

But in-universe wasn't correcting distortions "Gods" entire purpose? If the Archangel could cause people to start turning into Grotesques by feeding "God" false data based on his Tarot fetish, and the Protagonist could rewrite reality so that his twin survived instead of him, then why could the world not be reverted? [/Spoiler]

Yes son :)
