"when a good thing happen, I buy a game to celebrate when a bad thing happen, I buy a game to treat myself and when nothing happens, I still buy a game anyway" Finally found my mantra. Thank you Eurothug
Its wild the PS1 era was "eh just release the most unhinged stuff possible as a retail game" and it having an audience to the point where physical copies still exist to this day!
I like buying random imports on Saturn that have cyberpunk crap in them too. Have you ever tried Cyberdoll? I really dig that one. How about Despiria on dreamcast?
The second game felt like it was a few steps away from being directed by Hirohiko Araki. 27:39, is that the demo where that dark shadow turns a flying beagle to stone? Because that imagery nudged a wrinkle that hasn't budged in like 15 years. Also, I don't know if you've done anything with Drowned God yet, but in terms of strange and weird games, that one gets very "Ancient Aliens" from what I recall. Might be worth a look, especially since IIRC it's getting a re-release.
33:11 My God. That is both a hilarious and brilliant idea. Imagine a high budget, and other wise serious, horror game taking a good laugh at the player by using their pfp as part of a jumpscare
There’s a game stuck on the PS3 (but also in Xbox /w BC), called Child of Eden. It is a rail shooter inspired by the lore of the virtual band Genki Rockets, both created by the same who made Rez and Tetris Effect. It has the late 00’s aesthetic, fused with a feeling of being on an acid trip, while listening remixes of the band in question.
*watches intro* ...was that DATURA on the ps3 >_> These games are bananas. Or shoelaces. Whichever works. I'm gonna put these in my infinite backlog 👴 *Edit* it was! What a bizarre fucking game
The boot screen on the shoe game, you say? All kidding aside, one thing I greatly wish is that the weirder or more unusual Japanese games were ported over here. So many strange and wonderful games that I know I would have loved.
That whole "Game-Buying Guilt" thing mentioned at the start is literally the whole reason I'm writing video scripts now. I HAVE TOO MANY GAMES AND NO WAY TO JUSTIFY IT, SOS
Games like these really help to show off how creative video games can be, and how little we've actually scratched the surface of what interactive media can be. Now, with that statement, I also want to caviate and state that when it comes to pure usability, gamification makes things worse pretty much every time. I can't tell you how frustrating it would be to live in a world where digital music libraries must be browsed in a literal 3D warehouse. But, when it comes to creative endeavors and art, video games can do and be so much more than what we tend to see in the main stream. I wish sometimes we could go back to the 90s and the early years of 3D technology and stop the naysayers to keep people's creativity alive and well so that we could keep getting such weird media.
If you haven't I bet you'd like browsing the wild games in Dreams for PS4/5, there are a lot of Backrooms and Mario remakes, but games like Opposite Day and Haus of Bevis are right up your alley if you like the museum-esque games
Personally I liked this format of "this is a collection of weird games" and it made it easier for me to want to click and watch it than if it was just one specific creepy or weird game
...I never realized that Datura was meant to demo PS Move, despite OWNING a Move, I just did it with the controller instead Still keep Linger in Shadow installed just for the heck of it and listening to the XMB track
For weird games I reccommend Golden Light, low-poly roguelite first-person survival/psychological horror with mimics, eerie sound design and meat, a lot of meat. You go to a nice picnic with your beloved partner and some eldritch monster takes her captive to a hole below the ground. As a devoted caring one, you gotta go rescue her. Except the descent to the underground is an exercise in anxiety. Immediate disclaimer; it's NOT a game for kids nor just anyone, as among many other themes it explores, you can literally self-harm with the press of a button, and you'd do this because some weapons can give you status bonuses when applied on oneself. That is absolutely NOT how reality works! silly af. So yes, super weird game. Like Cruelty Squad weird. It doesn't pull its punches, you be advised now. So the underground is a dangerous place, akin to a jungle, but also quite surreal, as you'll stumble upon procedural mazes of scrambled furniture in labyrinthian manner, literal liminal spaces filled with gold, weapons and other items, mostly magical ones. And keys to unlock the exit elevator to proceed down through each level. And, and I'll state once again, mimics. Mimics are the game NPCs. Some are aggressive, some instead can ask you to do little errands or offer trade opportunities all in exchange of that sweet gold. Also killing them drops gold, but in doing so you'd start to watch for the moral system; because killing mimics makes every other one enraged with you and as you kill more they'll slowly start to hunt you through each level you go down. If you become too hated, eventually no mimic is pacific anymore. So there's that incentive to play it cool, to try surviving instead of fighting your way around. But there's also boss levels. So yes, it's a roguelite in almost every way. There is a story, told in fragments, in a way which I also felt really well done, in that it keeps in line, and even enhances the overall mysterious tone the game's going for. It also has some goofy humor for comedic relief.
15:26 is the gift shop really your favourite place in a museum? Were you one of those weirdo kids who wanted to become sales & marketing executives when they grew up? 🤔
@@eurothug4000 the rabbit hole gets deeper. I guess that explains how the Vatican state’s tourist board handled the marketing crisis caused by the resignation of pope Benedict XVI.

@@eurothug4000is that your official answer? I’ve watched your Siren videos several times and it supports my initial question of being a sales & marketing executive.

Thank you for watching everyone
How long is this offer good for? I get paid in a few weeks and would love to take advantage of it and help support at the same time.
"when a good thing happen, I buy a game to celebrate
when a bad thing happen, I buy a game to treat myself
and when nothing happens, I still buy a game anyway"
Finally found my mantra. Thank you Eurothug
buy two games in times of peace
and two in a time of war
buy two games before you buy two games
and then you buy two more
That quote is the most relatable thing I've heard this month

Eurothug video? Oddball games? For dinner?
We are eating GOOD today
Video treats are my meal, and Eurothug is my personal chef 👩🍳

If you like weird virtual museums based on real bands, I strongly recommend Radiohead's Kid A/Mnesia exhibit! The vibes are ✨️ vibing ✨️
I'm not sure that was a "panda", I'm pretty sure that was my sleep paralysis demon.
The kowloon game reminded me of garage bad dream adventure.
I dont know if its popular or not, but you should talk about super galdelic jour, is a party game with a really bizarre aesthetic
YESSS that’s literally one of the other ones I have my eye on!!!
I like buying random imports on Saturn that have cyberpunk crap in them too. Have you ever tried Cyberdoll? I really dig that one. How about Despiria on dreamcast?
I have Despiria but I haven't heard of Cyberdoll! I'll have to check it out!
A lot of appreciation for “sole knowledge” pun, but I’m here to represent my GOAT “boot screen” 01:15
You can't hit us with that many shoe puns that early on. I wasn't ready.

eurothug COOKING up another BANGER !!
youtube send me here early even if im not subscribed
9:22 This is a nightmare.
What a fun anthology-style video! Maybe a horror themed one now that halloween is coming up would be something cool to work on? My two cents. Cheers!
Terry's Turbo Trip is pretty funny, but Wuppo from the same dev is legit one of my favorite games, it's super good.
Is it too late to change my username to Crusty Spongecrumbs?
*watches intro*
...was that DATURA on the ps3 >_>
These games are bananas. Or shoelaces. Whichever works.
I'm gonna put these in my infinite backlog 👴
*Edit* it was! What a bizarre fucking game
Interesting games! Shoutout to the Shenmue 2 Man Mo Temple library music track :)

I like that they called first person view "subjective view".
Also your PSN profile picture is beautiful. I appreciate you the way you are.
shrimp grinding
I love learning about these experimental games. Thank you so much, Eurothug♥♥♥
I want to see more
Space MOSA sounds amazing!
Esp the gift shop at the end
Have the Zeno Clash games , The Eternal Cylinder and perhaps even Cookie Cutter been on your radar?
30:19 that's the beginning of the divine comedy.
i guess they couldn't get any further. lol
I truly adore the ps1 and ps2 era for the out of box thinking and creativity of the the design
Personally I liked this format of "this is a collection of weird games" and it made it easier for me to want to click and watch it than if it was just one specific creepy or weird game
I'm stealing 'releasing demons' as a euphemism.
"brb releasing my demons"
very very gud 👍
15:38 i got that album when i went to tokyo because i loved the artwork so much! really cool to learn some of the context behind the art!!
7:24 Poor truck-kun just wanted to send your furry friend to an epic adventure in another world
was busy yesterday and missed so now that i free i beyond hyped to wind down and watch this thank ya as always
1:23 He could not be LESS interested in that gift! Fan in tears
I haven't watched yet but I know it's going to be a banger, liked.
That first game is a shoe in for odd ball games indeed :P 🥁
Already relatable in the first 10 seconds.
1:08 dont think i didnt see what you did there, that sneaky shoe pun
We have very similar purchasing habits
Dang that’s a lot of money spent
7:39 _eurothug's English intensifies_
1:06 the SOLE knowledge LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Backlog Solidarity. I have like 500 in mine.
I'm sitting at over 1000 because of humble bundle and humble monthly
Damn, didn't know about Dogstation till now. Time to grab a copy! Thanks for the video, Thug 🙏🏻
34:28 that killed me
A game where you play as a shoe sounds like a headline for a new broken Ubisoft game. But no it's literally just the game!
3:49 That dog is so cool
...I never realized that Datura was meant to demo PS Move, despite OWNING a Move, I just did it with the controller instead
Still keep Linger in Shadow installed just for the heck of it and listening to the XMB track
Eurothuggers rise up
Love how the Nebula section was also just the Jacob Geller shoutout hour hahah, was thrilled to see you show up on Something Rotten
I feel like Space Mosa’s intro wouldn’t make any sense to me even if I knew Japanese.
Space museum life 👽
Shoe life 靴👠
Oh hi again 😍
i wonder how high the devs of some of these games were when brainstorming ideas
Cutie life 😊
