ABSURDIST INDIE GAMEs

``````````````````````ABSURDIST INDIE GAMEs``````````````````````

This is a list of the best of those weird, obscure games that you've probably seen that aren't just "so random XD" but have some sort of high-quality, absolutely absurd humor and concepts in them.

50 SHORT GAMES
- Made by same guy who made Goblet Grotto, which is listed below. 50 games created with sprites drawn on paper and taking pictures of them. Many of the games are minute-long ramblings that are just, well, absurd.

78641
- Play as the legendary frying pan Doug Beach in this unforgettable adventure.

A True Western Romance
- Amazing. A short, (est. 15 min) point-and-click sort of game that makes fun of the idea of pretentious "art" indie games. You're a cowboy with a deep nihilistic view of life. There's a YouTube video if you don't want to play it yourself.

Bat Castle
- An RPG Maker game that seems unplayable at the start, but if you manage to get past the first enemy you'll find yourself deep in a confusing story. Clicking on some parts of a wall may get you an item, talking to any NPC may teleport you to a room that you can't leave, and sometimes your entire screen will be covered up by art of some Finnish cereal mascot.

Bubsy 3d: Bubsy visits the James Turrell Retrospective
- A fan sequel to the Bubsy 3D game for PS1! Help Bubsy collect orbs, get information from frogs and make his way to the Art Museum. Find out the real meaning of "ART" through this Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game™, and you won't have to play any video game ever again.

Crypt Worlds
- Save the world from Dendygar™ in this piss-based Unity "game". Talk about existentialism with sentient TVs. Assimilate an army of cyber-burgermen. Learn the true meaning of VIDEO GAME.

Four Winds Fantasy

GAMEDOG
- A fake bootleg console which includes a dating sim (all the girls are complete weirdos, and not in the weird way), an rpg (you never get to fight anyone, it's a fetchquest without the quest), a puzzle game featuring a man named Norbert and much more.

Ghosts of Aliens
- Underrated masterpiece. Sorry, I'm lying. Haven't played it but it's obvious it belongs in here.

Goblet Grotto
- Unity game. You play as a toad knight in search of GOBLETS. Collecting GOBLETS is your only goal. Do not pay attention to the skeletons, gorillas, cops and other monsters who roam this game. Consult the manual to aid you in your quest. Speak to your toad in ancient glyphs. Collect all the goblet.

Hylics
- Random text generation is used to create this RPG Maker story, with very unique art made from clay. You play as a man(?) named Wayne, while every other character will have a name that you cannot pronounce. Snap your fingers to fight, watch TVs to digest new moves, and heat up burritos to gain HP.

illegal crime game
- First thing I want to say is that the lowercase spelling of the game name is entirely intentional. Become a criminal in this RPG Maker game!! "Explore the city and commit CRIMES. Collect money and commit CRIMES. Pray to your CRIME Deity and CRIME tombs."

Mealmate™
It's like raising a tamagotchi that's entirely made of meat. The game is hilariously absurd, just play it.

Murder Dog IV
- Another one by thecatamites. Am I being a little bias here? Maybe. Murder Dog IV is fan-sequel to the NES game "Murder Dog" in which you play as Murder Dog in his court trial for committing mass murder. The goal is to escape with a not guilty charge, can you do it?

Rat Chaos
- Unleash RAT CHAOS. Open index.html to play. Complain that you can't find the maker of the game until you do and realize they don't want anyone to see this. Get all the endings. I hate you.

Revenge of the Sunfish
- You may have actually heard of this one (haha). Some may say this one goes in the "so random" department, but you have to remember that it was made in 2007. Your goal is to stop the sunfish. That's pretty much all there is to say, and if you've never heard of it you need to play it now, it is quite the experience.

Sluggish Morss: A Delicate Time in History
- The best entry in the Sluggish Morss series, in my opinion. An RPG Maker game that presumably takes place in the far future, where giant babies rule over the universe and nobody seems to have a corporeal body anymore. This game is a great experience. If you're actually planning on playing it, stick around on the ending for 5 minutes or so to hear some extra dialogue.

The Underground Explorer
- A game made by a Japanese schizophrenic man. Explore the underground(?). It's probably very loud. Seizure people watch out too. Peace out.

ULTRA BUSINESS TYCOON III
- Business sim. Achieve 1 million dollars to win. It's all text. Think about your life.
