Weird/Interesting Games
Over the past years, I found many strange games that barely anyone knows about, but I find them very enjoyable. I started this thread so we can share all the weird games we found out about. (I'll try to not give away everything I know, yet.)
The first one I'll tell you about is this BYOND game called "Space Station 13"(SS13). It's very hard to explain, but basically it's a online multiplayer game that revolves around the ideas of unique "rounds" and player input. Each round has it's own agendas, jammed full of random events (e.g. meteor showers, radiation waves, biological disasters) and specified objectives for small groups of players. (e.g. Wizard, Traitors, Revolution, Changeling, Aliens, Syndicates) Everyone else gets thrown into the fray with some kind of job. (e.g. AI, Captain, Chef, Janitor, Robotics, Genetics, Assistants, etc.) Sometimes the admins will throw in things if they think a round is getting boring. When the round ends, the station resets and a different mode is chosen. Whatever happens in a round relies on what the players do with some more of the weight shifted to those given specific objectives relating to the mode.
It's very difficult to explain EVERYTHING about this game, hence there is a wiki. If you want to know more, take a look at that or go watch one of PlumpHelmetPunk's videos about SS13.
Now it's your turn to share!

Well,a good weird/interesting game I found is Out Of Order or OOO.It's a really funny/strange escape game with a great story and tolerable gameplay.
Eversion is one of the weirdest games I've played. It's free but there's a HD version on Steam.

Zombies ate my neighbors for super nintendo. That game was crazy hard and I never beat it. I think they had like 30 levels total but the most I got to was like 18.
List of games that have a weirdness factor, from a quick check in one of my games dirs:
Gazillionaire Deluxe
EarthBound
Live-a-Live
Space Channel 5
The Maw
Karoshi (the game is to find a way to kill yourself)
Ao Oni
Not Tetris 2
Normal Super Mario Bros. (very trippy)
Big Rigs Racing
ROM CHECK FAIL (awesome)
Dr Drago's Madcap Chase
Chewy - Esc from F5
Shadow Warrior
Gish
Random genres, random consoles, random degrees of weirdness. Sometimes the humour is just weird, sometimes it's in the gameplay, which might be unusual. Sometimes it's a combination of things. I recommend you check videos on YouTube for most of these or something.
I've played plenty more games that are even weirder, but most of them are "on the moment" or I might have deleted them or forgotten about them. Naturally, most of it is indie stuff.
