Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden is pretty absurdist.

Because people will just go
>lol so randumb
and then spam twitter with shit thinking they're clever and thinking everything is a meme
there's no point in making surrealist, absurdist anything

play Goblet Grotto

Bingo

this game disturbs me deeply for some unknown reason. I don't think I could ever get myself to play it.

Pathologic 2 fits the bill here

goblet grotto was fun, and while I didn't play space funeral. les rallizes quickly became one of my favorite bands

This
Absurdism is lost on normalfags
The entire meaning of meaninglessness is lost to them somehow

What about some unsettling enemies?

>there's no point in making surrealist, absurdist anything
There's no point in making anything

FN@F

That's cause of the twisted idea of nihilism millennials adopted

Explain

frog fractions 2

Why would you care about what normalfags think ?

They're unable to appreciate anything without making it a meme because of their constant derision state and the meme/cringe culture.

>Pathologic and Turgor on the same list with all that fucking garbage...
Jesus, you people desperately need some actual education.

And another one

As a philosophy, isn't that kind of the point?
There is no hope, no light at the end of the tunnel, everything is meaningless, so put on a smile and take joy in your meaningless existence by living a "full life" to spite the cold uncaring universe you live in, if for no other reason.
t. Read the wikipedia entries on Camus and the myth of Sisyphus.

RIP Barkley 2

>phenomenon32

Holy fuckin' based

A few updates for anyone curious:
>Barkley 2 = cancelled
>Where They Cremate The Roadkill has been available on Steam for a few years

Unfortunately for games, you have to be able to sell a game to get funded; whether by corporate or crowd funding. And the current culture also disregards the author/artists involved because they believe the bullshit about how all art is subjective and decided by the viewer and that the artist/author is irrelevant unless it conforms to the meaning the viewer assigns.

Absurdism is just new age pseudo-thinkers that discovered Buddhism and coupled with nihilism if we're being fair. They pretty much copied the pointless inquiries of Buddhism verbatim.

Because it fucking is.
How would you even know whether author just made some randumb shit as opposed to some philosophical commentary?
Doesn't help that all games listed in this thread look like a kids first try at making a game (with the exception of pathologic, which is not absurdist).

I've seen a few absurdistcore charts out there and they all need updates. They almost always end around 2013. That one in particular has fucking Barkley 2 on upcoming.

>How would you even know whether author just made some randumb shit as opposed to some philosophical commentary?
Having an education

First of all, "absurdism" isn't anything. It's what normies think all weird shit is, which makes you retards pretending that you are so above normies fucking hilarious.
Second of all: neither Pathologic nor The Void are absurd, you mongoloid. Pathologic is magical realism, and The Void is surrealist take on existentialism.

Jesus you people are fucking pathetic. If you don't know anything about the subject, the least you can do is not to talk about it.

Along with everything else people have been nominating, I'm gonna throw the Anodyne games out there. Also Hylics keeps popping up but Mason Lindroth has made quite a few other games that also fit the bill, and Hylics 2 is coming soon.

>Baroque ps2 version
Shit list.

>normie

Hey, did you complete it? Do you have it installed, by any chance?

Baroque is still a good game on PS2 even if you think the Saturn version was better.

Middens

Gingiva is cool but comically hamfisted lol

I'm just waiting for someone to translate the saturn/ps1 version.
The remake has shit atmosphere.

Put a fuckin nail under your toe flap, cheesehead.

I would recommend Hypnospace Outlaw and the Cosmo D games

And you can check the alpha beta gamer youtube channel, 99% of the games they play are shit but you may find something interesting.

ur gay lol

Thank you for proving my point.

>point

Give me the education on whole wheat and rye, please.
