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.

The games just fun, and they don't give a shoot. I just like this game I guess.
if you include 1.13
Doesn't make sense for this list but I love this game so there you go, idiot
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.
Literally an entirely new artform in its own right
Series of games for children suddenly decides to let kids know about death before returning back to normal.

The first and last game of the Pre-Renderered 3d background revival. Absolutely stunning visuals.
