esoteric exploration

do you feel trapped no matter where you are?
does the world feel like it wasn't meant to be perceived?
do you have complete freedom, but no clue at all what to do with it?
do you feel like you need to learn a new language to get back to the place you saw just two minutes ago?
that's esoteric exploration!! baby!!!!!

games that aren't on backloggd:
Lampshade by Mr No Wind's Studio
Doom 14 Supreme Adventure by eltiolavara9 (kind of)

i love kittyhorrorshow's games but they are far too friendly for this list! you should still play them.
my favorites are "anatomy" "roads" "basements" and "lethargy hill"

(also plz comment with games that would fit here, they're hard to find !!)

I suggest Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor. I'm sure I have other suggestions rattling around in my memory but that's the one that pops to mind
spaceport janitor feels just like trying to navigate a real life city, the most Esoteric experience you can have

I'm here for this list. Maybe consider adding Bernband. Or some of KittyHorrorShow's Haunted Cities series?
