Need recommendations!
| The Void Rains Upon Her Heart
| >>1044957 ooo this does look like it fits the bill. I'm not a huge fan of roguelikes but I may still give it a shot :3
| Golden Light
| give Butcher's Creek a try
| Voices of the Void might not exactly have "weird mechanics" but I'd call it a pretty good obscure game.
The less you know about it the better, but at least you should know the genre which is Cozy Horror!
| EYE Bovine Cybermancy
| VA-11 Hall-A
| elona
| wooden ocean have double digit amount of people liking it
| >>1044980 ooo this looks right up my alley
>>1044983 hell yes a new david szymanski game! Def gonna grab that at some point.
>>1044987 I've spent hundreds of hours in E.Y.E. and I still don't get it lmao
>>1045026 this looks really interesting and super different from a lot of games I've tried. My curiosity is piqued
A lot of really cool suggestions so fsr g/u/rls ^_^
| FISH FEAR ME
| Thanks me S**n I convince another potential murda blood letter
| Peep Psychopomp Gold, Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead, and Pseudoregalia
| >>1045152 also check out Moonring. It’s free and reminiscent of the early ultima games. Kenshi’s dope. If you like fast paced arena shooters Ultrakill is orgasmic
| >>1045152 I actually have all of these! Haven't gotten into Psychopomp yet, cataclysm just wasn't really my thing as cool as it seems. I just can't figure out wtf I'm supposed to so lol. And Pseudoregalia I reallllly wanna play but there's a weird niche issue with my graphics drivers that prevents me from playing for now cause it's integrated graphics ;-; I should be able to after I get a new card.
| >>1045153 have played all of these! In fact I even posted abt moonring on here a long time ago. Kenshi and Ultrakill are SO good.
| >>1045026
Love that I got clowned for Wooden Ocean posting enough to where I don't have to put it in threads myself anymore lmao
I'll throw in Disillusion and the sequel. Probably not where you wanna go for "gameplay", but the atmosphere and aesthetics are one of a kind
Wooden Ocean is my main rec though, recently started my 10th or so playthrough after some big updates and it's been great
| >>1045261 You have damn good taste. Okay, one last try from me since you know everything I mentioned: I started playing the demo for an indie immersive sim called Peripeteia today. It just entered early access. It’s far from finished, but if Cruelty Squad and EYE are your cup of tea you will likely enjoy it. The first level is huge, it’s got that eurojank stank all over it, and the vibes are immaculate. Also you’re a cool cyborg girl in a cyberpunk post-soviet Poland.
| I got high hopes for Peripeteia, it's gonna be goat of all time. Goty of the Year!
| OP try Northern Journey!! It has the same sort of early console look and feel. It's more like doom or half-life than an immersive sim, but the weapons and vibe are pretty unique!
| >>1045412
Northern Journey is such a gem but I wouldn't claim it has weird mechanics or anything because it's a pretty straight forward exploration shooter.
Good recommendation though, you have good taste.

| the executioner
| i wouldnt say its a game with weird or even innovative mechanics, but if you want obscure, i recommend LISA The Painful RPG.
| >>1046425 you're the first I see that types the full name of the game. People always call it "Lisa The Painful". Like, the painful WHAT?
| Whoah
| holy SHIT everyone here has SUCH GOOD TASTE
| Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau:
¨Metal gear solid meets magical madoka"
oh plus Picayune Dreams and 2kki if you haven't played them yet
| OP here on diff internet. Y'all are still cookin. Gonna keep this thread bookmarked to come back to a lot of these.
| >>1046453
+1 for Picayune Dreams
>>1046425 >>1046428
If you like LISA and want to try a short puzzle roguelite, have a look at Brutal Orchestra.
| >>1046608
I'll throw in two more then
Super Lesbian Animal RPG I haven't played that much of yet, but seems to be really well written with somewhat basic combat. More on the comfy cutesy side of things, though it might delve into heavier topics later on, not sure
Ark's Wonder Dungeon is like the opposite. Gameplay first and kinda edgy. Very unique run based dungeon crawler with very solid mechanics, though if you're sensitive to bad mental disorder portrayals then maybe stay clear
| Oh yeah and a positive for both of them is the art styles, very good aesthetics on them. Can't say I recommend them as highly as my previous recs, but both have strong "if it's your thing it's extremely your thing" potential. I know people with great taste who are obsessed with both of them
| Quasimorph
| True Love
| Sorry wrong post
| Dr. Lunatic Supreme With Cheese
| OP, you should try hello charlotte, MIABOMIABOM, or ultrakill^__^

| I looove obscure games with weird mechanics. Some faves include Arx Fatalis, Evergrace, Cruelty Squad, Caves of Qud, Morrowind (not obscure but still has weird mechanics), and Lunacid.
