Surreal Games Iceberg (WIP)

Original iceberg by brainworms: https://icebergcharts.com/i/Surreal_Games

DISCLAIMER: While the iceberg itself is titled Surreal Games Iceberg, it isn't limited to surrealism, as postmodern games, absurdist comedies and outsider games are some of many other artistic movements that are represented here.

Besides that, the iceberg isn't mine, so even considering this more expansive interpretation of its purpose, there are still games that I truly believe aren't on the right layer or even on the right list, Pikmin being the most evident one in my personal view, as it really just is a cartoonier sci-fi adventure.

Iceberg Layers are divided by Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (1997)
Entries that are not yet available on IGDB's database are represented with iCarly 2: iJoin the Click (2010)

Entries that refer to more than a single game (series of games, specific creator/studio, or artistic movement) will only be represented by a single game, that being whichever game I personally believe to better represent the entry, using Backloggd's popularity as a criteria if it's something i'm REALLY not particularly knowledgeable about

WIP

Ib

Popular RPG Horror Games (Mad Father, Ao Oni, Crooked Man)
Silent Hill Series
Puppet Combo Games
LISA series
Walking Simulators / Dream Walkers

I'd prefer to avoid having the same game twice (besides iCarly and Croc, since they're not in this list as games), but considering most other major games of the genre are also mentioned later, it seems fair enough.
Yume Nikki Fangames (.flow,2kki,etc.)
Johnny series
Remediation: A Dream Emulator DEMO
Cosmo D's Games

While I do prefer Club Low over this, it really does encapsulate Cosmo D's style and creative vision really well, establishing the formula that gave its first steps in Off-Peak and that would be subverted and experimented with in Club Low.
