it’s not inherently hard to make obscure and weird games/art, but it’s incredibly difficult to make a genuinely good one. to have it so consistent with its theme and direction while maintaining the player’s attention and never failing to up the ante is incredibly impressive. i can tell this was a passion project for the devs.

Seems like another perfect fit in the subgenre of “trippy, surreal games with over-the-top graphics”. Games like Cruelty Squad and Splatter come to mind.
"IF YOU THINK you broke the game. you can always Restart Level from the pause menu. You will be spawned at your last save point." Those are the types of tips in a game that give me a lot of confidence.
This definitely feels like a game similar to cruelty squad in that at first glance it seems like some insane poorly made mess but is actually a fairly good game with a wacky paint job
I feel the exact same way. Like the eeriness of majores mask at a young age has always kind of haunted me and stuck with me. It’s gives me thsoe vibes x1000
This is the kind of game where you get drunk, high, and have 4 boxes of pizza on standby before you dive in this Renaissance painting of a masterpiece.
I find it SO HARD to find games I want to play. This is the first I've seen in years that has be rapt. It helps that I'm mentally ill and a neuroscientist studying addiction. Thank you so much Charlie for sharing this absolutely priceless game 😭
I remember for the basketball game, chat was going wild telling Charlie to stand on the basketball icon he was missing, felt desperate too when I started spamming, too. Funny because he went "I need to watch out for stuff like that," then continued to not read the objective, lmao.
i like to think about whoever that girl is on the wall at 2:06 seeing this gameplay or even playing the game and just seeing herself in this weird ass world of binary code that is this video game and being trapped on the wall forever.
**When you just install unity and I don’t know what you’re doing, so you just keep going on with the mistakes trying to fix them ruining it more and just decide to base your game on the mistakes and it ends up working in your favor**
There’s another really good game from this developer I got years ago called “SOMETIMES TO DEAL WITH THE DIFFICULTY OF BEING ALIVE I NEED TO BELIEVE THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT LIFE IS NOT REAL”
This is the same developer as the game called "Sometimes to Deal with the Difficulty of Being Alive, I Need to Believe There Is a Possibility That Life Is Not Real." Dudes got a distinct style, that's for sure
I accidentally committed the weirdest crime of all time, once. Although the details of my acts are somewhat blurry, it appears as though I’ve crossed lines socially, politically, and racially. People are very unhappy with my past actions so I’ve been forced into a life of making public apologies. I’ve apologized many different times, in many different ways - and it still seems to be for nothing. You’d imagine after 70 apologies, the world would begin to forgive you, but it feels although I may be stuck venting my sorrows online for eternity. I’m sorry for the long comment, and the things I’ve said.. and the things I’ve done 😞
hows it a gem? seems like its just trying to be as weird as possible just for the sake of weirdness/shock value, thats just my general impressions though
I have a video game idea that’s a lot like this and it’s called Mr. Fingers. you play as Mr. fingers and you do what Mr. Fingers does, whatever that entails.
This reminds me of ENA or LSD Dream Simulator. I love the psychedelic landscape, man. It’s so comforting and homey. I hope you play ENA: Dream BBQ when it comes out. I can’t afford PC so it’d be nice to see one of my favorite content creators do a playthrough on Twitch.
I'm so happy Charlie found this. Jeremy's games are bizarre treasures and extremely memorable. Really hoping this brings more attention to them.
John Sauce?
Wow he's Made more? Where could I find such succulent treasures ?
I love you Vice City
thx so much, vinny!!!
Its great to see Jerma be able to express his schizophrenic fantasties through the art of underground indie game creation! 😊
This is actually such a unique game and the fact that someone took a lot of time to make this and it has so many different mechanics is sick

along with itimatusuzuka's GOHOME
It’s good knowing I’m not the only one that immediately thought of Cruelty Squad. It would be interesting to see Charlie play it.
cruelty squad is one of my favorite games of all time

True
Lavender town is the type of game you play when your younger and when you get older wonder if it was real or just some weird dream you had.

Was waiting for someone to mention Cruelty Squad. I wonder how Charlie would react to it.
cruelty squad is a joy to play. the sound track is great high music
playing this while on acid would be a next level experience
We want a speed run competition with this game!
Yes!!!
Previous challenge got lost in the limbo, so I wouldn't expect a new one.
It happened
i really appreciate your epileptic warning, most channels don't bother and its good to hear someone with a brain
I’m so glad Charlie still making these gaming videos and not just his commentary videos, this is the content I subbed for
these sort of games usually give me major existential dread but it's much more entertaining for me to watch charlie play it
This is what I think he’ll is like. Then getting stuck in a bug forever
Hell
“Existential Dread”…you just gave me the term to a feeling I’ve gotten towards so many different experiences! Thank you😭
Same!
I feel the exact same way. Like the eeriness of majores mask at a young age has always kind of haunted me and stuck with me. It’s gives me thsoe vibes x1000
This game is definitely a satire about drugs and the animation nailed it.
I think it more of a satire of corporationism in the world
@@vextium That too!

@@transtender161 a full large pizza to me sounds like already way too much
that was the most stereotypically american shit ive ever read
The sadness that I feel knowing I watched the abridged version and cheated myself out of the true experience… i didn’t know such pain existed.
Just gaslight yourself into believing this is the only version
Abridged version?
I think he says that because he saw charlie playing the game with cuts and edits not in full stream uncut
I find it SO HARD to find games I want to play. This is the first I've seen in years that has be rapt. It helps that I'm mentally ill and a neuroscientist studying addiction. Thank you so much Charlie for sharing this absolutely priceless game 😭
2:03 the Bara artwork was an unexpected but welcomed addition
Man, watching this on stream was... something else, felt like I was high and sober at the same time. Weird but very fun game.
This feels like a game Charlie would’ve played back in 2013, I love it
Charlie having the ability to find these games from the deep dark depths of Steam astonishes me lol
ur not real
@SebsWorldOfFunreturnsWho asked
Steam is a goldmine of shitty games and funny shit
I got it in my discovery queue twice
@SebsWorldOfFunreturns”No bullying allowed” I can see why you get bullied 💀
So immersive the way that Charlie’s camera quality started matching that of the game as the video went on.
This is just GTA 5 if it complied with modern internet humor
You didnt find it. It found you
"Passive aggressive Asshole" The game predicted Charlie sooo good.
Actual huge effort went to making this game, no joke
??
Hope they make a VR port for it one day ^-^
the fact that he is completely unfazed in the entire playthrough is insane
This is my 2 brain cells during a math test morphed into a game.
This is why I watch this channel, and the blatant honesty from Charles over time made me a subscriber.
What makes me happy is the great quotes from playing this game. “Let’s goooo big adderall”
Damn the creativity in this game is over the roof. Actual amazing game!
You should totally make this one of the speed run challenges
I remember for the basketball game, chat was going wild telling Charlie to stand on the basketball icon he was missing, felt desperate too when I started spamming, too. Funny because he went "I need to watch out for stuff like that," then continued to not read the objective, lmao.
Jeremy coulliard is actually an artist ive been following since Uncle Sad Bedroom, it's honestly his greatest piece
He’s so talented at making demented games LMAO
How long has he been making art professionally

This game must be god tier for speedrun tournament.
Turning into an airplane propably some bugs on top of that.
Please make it happen

I missed the times when Charlie played the weed shop game. That shit was a like a fever dream.
There’s another really good game from this developer I got years ago called “SOMETIMES TO DEAL WITH THE DIFFICULTY OF BEING ALIVE I NEED TO BELIEVE THERE IS A POSSIBILITY
THAT LIFE IS NOT REAL”
This takes me back to 2010 when Charlie used to play random weird games and do a 5 minute commentary and say I’m done playing this shit
"my girlfriend cannot know that i poop" fucking killed me lmao
Imagine what the creator of this game could do with the sort of clams used to make starfield and games of that level.
This is the same developer as the game called "Sometimes to Deal with the Difficulty of Being Alive, I Need to Believe There Is a Possibility That Life Is Not Real." Dudes got a distinct style, that's for sure
Imagine playing this while on psychedelics
its crazy that gianni matagrano worked on this. i watched charlie play this live on stream and i wouldve never guessed lmao

jerma?
@@AaronGonzales-bh7dj there's other people with that name
why you all suddenly know who jeremy is lmao

I like how it's stylistically weird and not necessarily bad weird. Like I wouldn't be surprised if its style was inspired by cruelty squad.
Watched you play this live, and something about the art style, or maybe just the game in general made my stomach twist in knots. Felt like a bad trip
Nah genuinely makes me feel uncomfortable and sick to my stomach, almost violated lmao. I had to take breaks watching this shi but kept comin back
It's like discovering a lost PC game from the 90s. Nothing about it makes sense and yet it is more compelling to play.
Charlie really buttered my biscuit with this one.
Watching this high asf was not a good idea but I loved every second😂
A very Strange Game feels like a very strange Fever dream
You asked enough to reply though
@SebsWorldOfFunreturns
Theses games are basically episodes from "Courage the cowardly dog"
this game is a certified masterpiece
That was unironically a breath of fresh air
This game looks dope. More interesting than a lot of AAA games. Looks like an indie cult banger that'd be on PS2
12:17 Wanna try that one again buddy? 😅
Charlie never fails to fill me w weird games
I’m gonna fill you up with something else
Aaaaaaa
@SebsWorldOfFunreturnswell you didnt so that's a scam
it's not really a bad game, it's an amazing game so stop spamming without watching the video

Games like this are so weird but that's what makes you want to explore more that's also why cruelty squad is so fun imo
I can genuinely believe there's a planet out there that has all this and Lavendar town really does exist
Sometimes the best game ideas are the ones that never comes to a healthy mind of a person with utter sanity.
I'm glad you are showing off this hidden gem. Now the devs will be happier
hows it a gem? seems like its just trying to be as weird as possible just for the sake of weirdness/shock value, thats just my general impressions though
This looks like if "the weirdest game from the deep web" and the lsd dream emulator had a child together.
It's awesome
This 100% reminded me of LSD Dream Simulator, only with more dream and less simulator
charlie picked "my life feels empty" 😭😭
I cant tell if Lavender Town better than Spooky Men
Stumbling onto a Jeremy Couilard game is interesting. It's like finding someone's doodle journal.
16:48 you know, it would have been even better if they did the same dance as you 😂😂😂😂😂😂, and the aliens outside as well.
Can’t wait for the speed run community
This is strangely nostalgic for some reason. Im not sure what game, except Pikmin keeps coming to mind.
Now that you mention it, the graphics do kind of remind me of the claymation stuff made for pikmin 2
I have a video game idea that’s a lot like this and it’s called Mr. Fingers. you play as Mr. fingers and you do what Mr. Fingers does, whatever that entails.
Sounds good
Thoroughly disappointed, this was supposed to be bad game night and now I'm left with a good taste in my mouth
I'd love nothing more than to see Charlie play Cruelty Squad one day. Hearing his thoughts on the game would be cool
Being fried watching it is crazy
Love that you’re steaming on RUclips I actually caught this one live
I love how he just stops talking when he transformed to a plane, bro was flabbergasted
Bro that first game stole the fallout 3 menu music in that trailer
chris parrello did a unironic insanely god job with the music

You highlighted a neat game, its funny how it plays, but clearly doesn't have any bugs just looks trippy as hell.
This has Cruelty Squad vibes
This has more creativity then like half the new games combined
This game is terrifying in a way, like a bad dream or a bad acid trip.
Just thinking about the humans that made this is hilarious
Damnit Charlie you gave Pyrocynical another game to make a 7 hour documentary.
Apparently this dev is an artist named Jeremy Couillard. All of his art looks exactly like this game.
One must imagine Escape from Lavender Island
