Topic: Weird Indie Games

What are some weird, bizarre, or unhinged indie games you're surprised to find on Switch? Games that you'd expect to find on Itch.io only. The more experimental the better. This is the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

9th Dawn III
A surprisingly compelling 2D top-down dungeon crawler / monster tamer.

World of Horror
A great 2-bit callback to pen-and-paper rpgs with Junji Ito-inspired art.

Carrion
A metroidvania that has you being the bad guy. Not many games let you be the antagonist.

Trigger Witch
Zelda but with guns.

Doki Doki Literature Club
There aren't many visual novels that make me this uncomfortable. I had no clue.

Oneshot: World Machine Edition is probably the most surreal and emotional game I've ever played (and I've played Majora's Mask). I think that game made me lose my appetite for a week.

I find weird games on Switch very normal and unsurprising compared to the amount of utter trash — AI-generated hentai puzzle game #47, asset-flip platformer which crashes on level 3 and has no way to progress, AAA Clock Gold ($99 on the eShop), etc.

Then there are the games where it is hard to tell (without playing) whether they are trying to be edgy and experimental or are just trash. Bedrotting is a good example. Description: "In this game, you lie in bed, trying to survive for 20 days. You have to eat, carry about your mental state, and use a bucket as a toilet. You are a young girl who got into a car crash". Ok, could be interesting-- maybe a visual novel or emotional puzzle game. Nice cover art, although the fact that there is an adult toy on the cover of this T for teen game is questionable. Then you look at the screen shots and they look like extremely poorly drawn 1990s 3D horror graphics and you're like 'wtf'.

That said, the weirdest game on Switch I've personally played which wasn't simply bad was probably Everything. That is a surreal game.

@Novamii I've played Poi; seems extremely non-weird. But ... what the heck is squirrel stapler? 😆

@Novamii Interestingly, another squirrel game just came out on the eShop today - Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel. I notice the Switch eshop has a third squirrel game also - The great battle of Shark Monkey Squirrel Dinossaur Bird Bee. (and yes, dinosaur is misspelled in the title)

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I've added several to my wishlist. I've got a couple to recommend too. These aren't super obscure, so you might already know them, and they're not super weird either, but they qualify I think. I actually haven't finished all of these, so I can't 100% vouche for their quality.

This thread led me down a rabbit hole to wishlist these games:

• Everything
• Squirrel Stapler, Chop Goblins and DUSK '82 (all developed by the same guy)
• Fatum Betula
