Fav/Random Avant-Garde Games
Some of my favourite games that are very strange, and also a couple games that aren't my favourite. Generally games that grant experiences beyond what conventional game design allows.

Literally an entirely new artform in its own right
Billion dollar game that had you talking to people. Playing gacha. I don't know but I know people would want this on this kind of list.
Game that makes you turn your safety off. Ends up being about learning patience and discipline. Also recommends buying a firearm as a treatment for depression. Irresponsibly based.
Important NPCs can die based on rng. Little to no information given about the consequences of players choices before player is forced to make them.
You can eat a berry then die hours later from food poisoning.
Walking simulator makes compelling emotional content from navigating an environment. This is a completely new idea.
Snake to Raiden switcheroo
I mean for real what even IS a game?
Doesn't make sense for this list but I love this game so there you go, idiot
Series of games for children suddenly decides to let kids know about death before returning back to normal.
I may not be a big fan, but I am perfectly impartial.
if you include 1.13
I've never played this game.
The games just fun, and they don't give a shoot. I just like this game I guess.
I personally view thecatamites style as the solidification of "weird indie games" into coherence.
I'm going to be honest time has kind of made me hate this game but I cannot deny that it was the first to ask "What if our game was very hard, AND we took it really really really seriously?"
CRPG that finally tosses out combat
The first and last game of the Pre-Renderered 3d background revival. Absolutely stunning visuals.
The game that inspired the much worse game, Cookie Clicker, which itself blighted us with the "clicker" genre
