>>9559 Weird walking sims. Usually of the deliberately low quality and shitpost-y persuasion.

>>9571 huh, i never heard of them being called egg games or egg likes, where did that name even come from?

>>9140 >>9134 >>9609 Eggs are trannies that haven't come out, so given the context he's referring to games like this one.

>>9616 (You)

>>9134 >>9559 egglikes are shitposty walking sims like the other guy said They were popularized mainly by Vinny Vinesauce, popular twitch streamer and voice of the iconic Dratula over a decade ago, some of the main proponents of the genre are Le Fantabulous Game, The Fantastic Game, The Excellent Game and Eggular game [spoiler]btw isn't there an easy way of spoilering on this board, I got so used to just pressing ctrl+S back on the 4

>>9637 and you're forced to close your spoilers each time too?, man this blows

>>9134 obviously he was referring to engineering games general, the reason however is unknowable

>>9637 >btw isn't there an easy way of spoilering on this board, I got so used to just pressing ctrl+S back on the 4 Yeah same, even though I use this place sometimes I got so comfy and spoiled by 4ch and 4chanX/XT that I still use those shortcuts automatically So what are some more weird shitposty and/or esoteric games you would recommend? For reference I also loved Psychopomp, i think it's within the same genre although it's focus is less absurdism and more of the occult

>>9637 >>9650 use two asterisks at the beginning and end whatever you want spoilered

>>9658 Yes anon I know how it works, I just forget Muscle memory and all that

>>9650 LSD Dream Emulator is the OG "weird walking simulators" so you should start there, just go to itch and search for LSD and walking simulators and you'll find a lot of derivative LSDlikes that try to emulate that same dreamy atmosphere one of my favorite developers of these weird wacky offbeat walking sims is Jeremy Couilard who developed some fucking WEIRD games like Uncle Sad Bedroom and JEF also games from Cosmo D Studios, those games give me a very Lynchian feeling >>9658 *test* is it two at the beginning and two at the end or one each

>>9687 I didn't actually like LSD emulator all that much, it was too "random for the sake of random" unlike ENA which is more absurdism with it's own internal logic, which I prefer And I find that most "LSD derivatives" are just that, trying to be soup or random and having no point

>>9687 you can find out a lot if you READ DA RULES

>>9707 Then you might enjoy Jeremy Couilard's game, they're really densely packed with really stilted and shallow social commentary, almost political newspaper strips tier social commentary like he's doing a piss take on social commentary and esoteric imagery as a whole Every reference and set feels like is buried beneath 5 layers of sarcasm and irony His games remind me very much of Xavier Renegade Angel in their whole philosophy Or I dunno, if you want a game that really takes occult imagery and esoteric knowledge seriously then maybe try Drowned God but be ready for frustrating 90's adventure game bullshit >>9726 rules are gay though

>>9728 >rules are gay though Fair enough

>>9728 > they're really densely packed with really stilted and shallow social commentary, almost political newspaper strips tier social commentary like he's doing a piss take on social commentary and esoteric imagery as a whole No that's just the opposite I don't like "GUYS IT'S A METAPHOR, GET IT? METAPHOR!!!!!!!!! GUYS LOOK, X DIRECTLY CORROLATES TO Y WITH NO ABSTRACTION WHATSOEVER! M E T A P H O R!!" type of media and super in-your-face social commentary, but I also don't like pointless xD SO RANDOM BLAHBLAHBLAH ME SO CRAZY audiovisual cancer, I prefer a middleground where the logic is insane but coherent, the randomness is fun and the whole thing doesn't come across as a painful lesson ENA is the perfect balance for me

>>9728 >Drowned God That shit is the good shit, it's made in the mind of someone who's brain actually works in a nonconventional way as opposed to a lot of fake-esoteric media made by utter normalfags just trying to abuse the "Conspiracy theorist aesthetic" like it's an episode of Gravity Falls or some shit The guy was also assassinated and then had his death framed as a suicide, and if that's not a huge flag that he was at the very least an unusual thinker to such a degree that someone felt threatened by it, Idk what is And rules ARE pretty gay Or at least nobody checks the rules to find out how to make our text look all funny, we just kinda assume it's the usual "Don't post bomb threats and links to your secret Babycorn Porn dispensary, and remember to give jannies their daily handjob rotation" stuff

>>9760 Gonna delete this one too?

>>9755 >>9759 >>9760 stop deleting and reposting anon, nobody cares if you messed something up my dude

>>9762 I'm going to make fun of him for deleting and reposting though

>>9764 of all the things to bitch at someone for this is probably the gayest least when a post is deleted and reposted for some minor nonsense like a typing mistake the result is just one post remaining, not several in a row whining about it **and yes i'm contributing to the group whining session, what was started cannot be stopped*

>Thread getting cluttered over mass whinging about the most irrelevant of shit Ah, /v/.... Home... That aside, seriously this website needs something akin to 4chanX, being able to just drag and drop an image and edit the filename to credit the artist is much nicer than this last century practice of... Eugh... "Saving images" Where is the future!?

Anyone here play other surrealist exploration games like Hypnagogia, Psychopomp and Broken Reality? And are there any other obscure recommendations you'd personally suggest?

>>9859 Never heard of Hypnagogia, I'll check it out I love Pyschopomp, bought it after playing the demo because it genuinely impressed me and indie devs that good deserve the pay Broken Reality has actually been in my wishlist for a while, I must've forgot it's even there, I'll check it out thanks for the reminder

>>9650 More on the shitpost and absurdism side than the esoteric side, but Thank Goodness You're Here! is on a similar wavelength of doing odd chores for people while everything kinda follows a logic similar to our world but just a bit off in a silly kinda way Definitely less out-there on the insanity meter, much more down to earth, kinda like the first season of South Park rather than the abstract madness ENA is on, but still fun if you like your strange comedy games

>>9866 >Pyschopomp This shit is fREE? I know what I'm playing today. Thanks anon.

>>10360 There is also Psychopomp Gold which is just an expansion of the OG game with an epilogue sequence iirc

Hoarder Alex my beloved....

>>11275 I genuinely love Alex idc if he was made to be unlikeable, something about him and the way he talks is real fun I love how he says "Rad" here

>>11643 he didnt even lie to you here all he did is say he may give you his thanks for your mayonnaise crimes, he never promised to let you pass his bridge man did nothing wrong

>>11643 >>11651 Plus I just find his design cute and funny (not in the UOOOOOOOH way) in equal measure His "death" scenes are peak comedy

>>12134 he's like some kinda rat

What other languages would you like to hear in future chapters?

>>12607 More ancient languages, like Latin or biblical Hebrew or ye olde timey medieval English, more cool chanting and singing, and also just characters that speak in unconventional ways that aren't entirely verbal or even vocal

>>12607 Wouldn't mind seeing something more obscure/underused like Tibetan, Georgian or Bolak, though something like Esperanto and Mongolic would be neat too. And for vocal effects and speech patterns and whatnot, I wouldn't mind seeing some radio-filter vocals (like Ulysses' silhouette mask state) or something more synthetic and artificial-sounding for that off-kilter uncanny feeling.

I just hope pic rel comes back, he's pretty cool, I like his character so far the design of him being a living puppet is neat and I personally don't headcanon the ninja as being "the real guy" speaking behind the puppet, but rather just the conduit to give the puppet life, and the man speaks for himself I like him as this sorta party dude who doesn't care about ascending or clearing his sins he just wants to let loose and make people happy and seems to be some kinda mascot for the event as a whole, maybe he runs it It'd be neat to see him come back, his voice and accent is sex
