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.
