[ ADVENTURE ]
Hyper-surreal graphic adventure game tackling strange philosophies and... frankly, I couldn't really tell you anything much more specific than that.

[ ADVENTURE ]
Short, linear exploration game.

[ ADVENTURE ]
A florist ends up in Dr. Habit's "Habitat," where unhappy people go to cure their sadness. Dr. Habitat doesn't appreciate it, however, when the florist starts cheering people up—claiming that they're spoiling the smiles meant to be reserved for the "Big Event." An offbeat first-person adventure game in which players must react to people's "yes" or "no" questions by physically moving the florist's head with their mouse.

[ ADVENTURE / MINIGAMES ]
What's billed as a collection of long-lost and unreleased Sonic the Hedgehog games proves to be much more... cursed. For Sonic fans, Sonic newcomers, and Sonic haters alike. Best suited for adults, though.

[ ADVENTURE / HORROR ]
Game Boy homebrew. Dark fantasy adventure about a girl who has become trapped in a land of lost souls, between dark and light. Some really fantastic character art, as expected from Kadabura. Some neat body horror in here.

[ ADVENTURE / SIMULATION / VR OPTIONAL ]
Powerful and fairly accurate outer space exploration simulator developed by an astronomer. Get far away enough from Earth and it will procedurally generate new planets and stars and stuff. Steam version costs money but is VR compatible. Not a particularly strange game, so it's a bit of an odd pick for the list, but I think it works well enough given it's an exploration-based game.

[ RPG ]
Funny and fairly short RPG about a sad man and a horse made of legs who go on an adventure to prevent the world they live in from becoming corrupted by glitches.

[ ADVENTURE ]
Well-known post-modern adventure game about the relationship between the player, their avatar, the game's developer, and the game's narrator. Brilliant dialogue and voice acting. Though others have tried to replicate its wit, few are clever enough to succeed.

[ ADVENTURE / HORROR ]
Point-and-click adventure game in which an old lady must prepare her clients' final dishes. Incredibly dark and pretty funny.

[ ADVENTURE ]
Explore a damaged, dead computer world as a virtual pet.

[ ADVENTURE ]
Explore a trippy and surreal procedurally-generated building full of TVs. No longer officially available, so you'll have to find a mirror.

[ SANDBOX / SIMULATION ]
A sandbox that lets you do exactly what it says in the title. You also have dynamite, can change the structural makeup of the towers you spawn, and can control wind and gravity strengths.

[ SIMULATION ]
The always acid-frazzled Timothy Leary has a DOS "video game" that's actually more of a psychoanalysis tool and it's about as weird as you'd think. Probably the least accessible thing on this list.

[ ADVENTURE ]
Ori wakes up in a hotel bathtub, unsure of where he is. He soon meets the frightened and mistrustful Rem, and together, they travel through the corridors and rooms of the hotel and make their way through veils that only allow entry once certain conditions are met. Combines the surreal leanings of walkabout-type RPG Maker games with religious imagery and cryptic lore regarding beings called Celestials.

[ ADVENTURE ]
Brightly-colored exploration game about navigating trans spaces as a person going through their own transition. There are a few small areas to explore, and their inhabitants' reactions to your transition change depending on how you spend your skill points (hormones), which you also accrue through dialogue options.

[ ADVENTURE ]
Seizure-inducing exploration game with strange beings roaming around. Simple and short.

[ ADVENTURE ]
A short exploration game developed for an rpgmaker.net challenge where developers kept their games' lengths over ten minutes and their file sizes under 1.44 MB. Excellent presentation with a lovely limited palette. World and character designs stand out. Peaceful, calm vibes all around.

[ CREATIVE / DRIVING ]
Drive through the HyperLight Void, an infinite pitch black field, with your motorcycle that leaves behind a trail of color you can use to decorate the plane. The game tunes you into a lo-fi beats station right away, though you have the option to enter an online radio station's address of your own choosing. And that's pretty much it—this game runs entirely on vibes.

[ ADVENTURE / HORROR ]
Dark and very short adventure game about an oceanographer that becomes obsessed with finding Eden. If you have thalassophobia, this will be especially effective on you. Flawless art direction and presentation.

[ ACTION-ADVENTURE / HORROR ]
Surrealist undead action-adventure and horror game with some eerie vibes and interesting enemy designs.

[ ADVENTURE ]
A man dies, his only regret not being able to say goodbye to his love. Having been sent to Hell, he is promised the ability to speak with her once more by completing a Halloween ritual.

[ ADVENTURE ]
The thrilling sequel to Will You Ever Return? and the best in the series. Sent to Hell immediately after killing the person from the first game, a man must defeat his inner sins.

[ ADVENTURE / HORROR ]
Yume Nikki fan game about Spencer, who begins to explore a long-abandoned MMO. No longer being developed, but still worthwhile.

[ ADVENTURE / HORROR ]
A large collaborative Yume Nikki fan game in which players must guide Urotsuki, a girl who won't leave her room, through her dreams.

[ ADVENTURE / HORROR ]
Cult classic exploration game in which players explore the dream worlds of Madotsuki, who refuses to leave her room. Find "effects" laying around, encounter chance events, meet interesting characters. Slow gameplay, practically no dialogue, pretty surreal.
