Looking up on video games that I have never heard of, old and new, strange games, games with strong abstraction or surreal elements for the last month. If I would talk to a "gamer" about my enthusiasm of these games -- even though I play almost all types of games with pleasure -- they could find me artsy or hipster. I believe all emotional qualities of the top games are explored deeply in these strange experimental titles.
It's sort of like an oriental music track and a modern, westernized version of it, both can be pleasing to ear while crowds would lean towards the modern rendition. However I think oriental music in this example would be the reason the modern version was made in the first place. I think there is a huge value where there is variation, experimenting and expression.
No Italy, no pizza.
Video games for my research:
- Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong Nou (1994)
- The Dark Eye (1995)
- Sanitarium (1998)
- Grim Fandango (1998)
- Stanley Parable (2013)
- Dropsy (2015)
- Paradigm (2017)
- Broken Reality (2018)
- Secret Little Haven (2018)
