weird to control ngl and its either way too easy or way too hard depending on the settings you choose, there isn't really any good difficulty balance. but godDAMN those visuals are so bizarre that it makes it worth at least looking at. Pretty inessential though, I wouldn't reccomend playing it unless you distinctly want something so downright bizarre to look at. more of a strange art piece than remarkable accomplishment in game design. Can't say I've played any pinball games where you can freely move the flippers though I guess

Typically I seek out bizarre games, it's something I actively enjoy, to the point that if a game feels too measured and adherent to established canons that's almost a downside for me. This is all to contextualize the fact that I think that Screaming Mad George's ParanoiaScape might be the first game that is just way too much for me in that regard. It's a constant deluge of surreal horror imagery ("anti-realistic", George calls it) that just gets to me in a way I can't explain. It feels like I just got cursed by playing it, like it's an infohazard. It's not just lolrandom shit thrown at the wall, I can clearly tell that there is a successful artistic intent behind it but I cannot for the life of me even begin to guess what it might be other than the fact that it makes me feel very uncomfortable.

No score. I don't know how to rate this.
