Okay that was funny.

The first game is pretty funny. And first-person tetris, whoa! I may have to try again later when I'm drunk.

I would recommend checking out Jason Rohrer's simple causal games. You have to download them but they are available for Linux, Mac, and Windows. I guess I would describe them as a kind of autobiographical metaphorical art game.

The last link for the existentially depressing game is too much like life.

First Person Tetris is easier if you remember that the enemy's gate is always down.

Is there an end to the existentially depressing game? Or does it just keep going on?

@7, there's an end. It's not a very satisfying one, but there's an end. There are five things you need to do, each of which represents a break from your normal routine.

The game is you are having a recurring dream....get to one end and it starts over, but you can change the direction of the dream. I think the ending is both disturbing and satisfying, but maybe that's just cause I'm a Buddhist and don't take the illusion to seriously to begin with.

I've always wanted to go to "work" without my suite.

I think "Every day the same dream" is broken. I can't ever get to work without being late. And then there was nobody there. I couldn't sit at any of the cubes and get work done. Pretty frustrating.

@11, assuming you're being serious: no, it's not broken. You've almost completed the game.

I liked "Every Day the Same Dream." If you liked that, here are a couple more (different creators, different gameplay, same feeling) that got a lot of attention in 2009:
"Small Worlds" - http://armorgames.com/play/4850/small-wo…
"Today I Die" - http://www.ludomancy.com/games/today.php

And if you're looking for an even more brain-bending-with-directions game than First Person Tetris, I can't recommend "Continuity" enough. Definitely one of my favorite casual games of 2009. It lives here:

Well, in the second game, if you go to work without getting dressed, you get fired. I thought if you came back again (after being fired) you could kill them all. Doesn't work that way.

I have to show this to my friends now.

Oh my gosh, I remember one time downloading a large list of old games from the nineties. Mostly mario and racing games, a lot of games I've never heard of, but amongst the mix, I found something very odd. There was a game that was literally called "rape game", and I'm pretty sure it was a joke. We were drunk and high, and the game was only three levels. The first two, you play as a prostitute (gigolo?), and you have to do really weird and disturbing things for people. The last level, you just run into a room, and you have to press a button repeatedly, before chopping someone's head off. It was very fucked.

Please wait...
