One of the only games I've ever ordered direct from the publisher. I was (still am) a huge fan of Moon RPG and Chulip is by the same designer. I still have the keychain that came with it. Wonderful game! I don't think it actually got a release in stores but was direct from Natsume? I don't remember.

There's basically a faux corruption system where certain events trigger a higher chance of a certain texture set of the four or five sets to chose from, but the gray man resets this value on contact and games that avoid him start to combine sets and override colors and set off random in game events more often making the game even weirder. The music is also a single 'track' that gets modified as well.

Also the game ends after a year with a weird and underwhelming cutscene and that's basically everything worth knowing, there's nothing mind blowing or real secrets hidden in it.

>Bad Day at The Midway
Control multiple people as you explore a amusement park. It's a horror game with a lot of bizarre imagery.
>Harvester
A fucking terrible 90's adventure game. This is about as edgy as you get.
>Red Comrades Save the Galaxy
A Russian adventure game about Communist Russians stopping an alien invasion.
>Utsurun Desu.: Kawauso Hawaii e Iku (Famicom)
Platformer based on a gag manga. A game made to completely fuc with your perceptions of platformers, though it is pretty shit.
>Tass Times in Tone Town
Another adventure game. This one is just weird in general. It begins with you entering a portal and meeting a dog that is a news reporter in an alternate reality, just weird stuff.
>Tempo
AKA "the only reason to even really give a shit about the 32X other then knuckles chaotic", this is a great platformer with a music theme as the title implies. great animation and visuals.
>PO'ed
A first person shooter where you play as a cook aboard a spacship fighting aliens. Pretty unique visuals and very maze like.

It's Unity with a filter from their asset store. It's not a technical marvel, the environments in the beginning look like the tutorial games you make in the first 4-6 tutorials on Unity's homepage. The fixed camera angle and flat walls is the biggest sign.

If we're suppose to be watching a "story" unfold, it did break the the narrative to address us. Kinda like how, in a really tense, if we know this is a flashback/prequel/know the narrator is one of the characters, we know they make it, so the tension is DOA. Especially since, if the videos aren't being loaded AS they're played, that means that the uploader has a ton of footage that he's doing absolutely nothing with to build fake suspense.
