366 Weird Video Games
This list is inspired by the website 366 Weird Movies. This list is for the video games that are unconventional in plot, narrative, gameplay, etc. or have a spark that make them unique, but it has to verge on the weird. These games can also dabble in surrealism and have themes or gameplay that alienates some gamers. The games are also in no specific order. Suggestions are welcome!

Elite Beat Agents ended up on here twice. I suggest The Prisoner.

-Dandara
A jumpless platformer/metroidvania heavily influenced by contemporaneous urban brazilan culture.
-Dropsy
A surrealist adventure where you control a mutant clown and all "dialogue" is done through pictograms.
-Hypnospace Outlaw
Remember Geocites? Well, it's Geocites on acid.
-The Lords of Midnight
Besides being an unique mix of adventure and strategy, LoM is also able to use the limited color palette of the ZX Spectrum to great effect, creating some quasi-ethereal environments.
-Lovely Planet
More intense than Doom, more sugarcoated than My Little Pony
-Patapon
A mix of rhythm, strategy, rpg and god-game with impossibly stylish 2D art.
-Samorost
The Secret of Monkey Island for cool kids that do drugs. (Just kidding. Cool kids don't do drugs!)
-Vagrant Story
One of the most original RPGs/dungeon crawlers ever created. A unique battle system that mixes rhythm and real-time with pause in a fully rendered three-dimensional field, an absurdly complex craft system and visuals that make the PS1 spontaneously combust, all tied together with an intriguing narrative.
-Zeno Clash
A first-person brawler set in the most bizarre world possible.
