Hey hey :cheesy: so recently I've been diving deeper and deeper into more psychological horror stuff. I was always a big fan of Silent Hill and the likes, but I'm not talking about that. Lately I've come across a game(??) called Museum of Anything Goes, and after playing it I was left with a feeling that this game was genuinely cursed. To summarize the game and why I feel this way:

The game is set within a museum where you can click on pictures to go through them Mario 64 style. It's a point and click from the 90's that uses a lot of FMVs, already leading it to have a weird feel... but the sound design and sheer unintentional creepiness makes all of it just look so wrong. Not to mention that the game has several sections that include some genuinely unsettling stuff like one painting that takes you down an unhinged ramble about the entropy of existence with a small section of it being in a Wingdings-like font I really should work to decode, or another one that has the developer filming random people in the street. Lots of really weird, creepy, no good stuff. :ohdear:
 
But after I completed the game and saw the credits, I was left with such a genuinely indescribable feeling. It really felt like I played something I really was not meant to play, but how everything lined up for me to be there at that moment for a long time now. Like I was experiencing something meant for someone else. And that made me have this craving for more, in a way. Maybe less real life creepy, but still.
(The fact I am looking for a pretty similar game from my childhood probably helped me feel the way I did, honestly. It's a weird melancholic vibe!)


I really like Shipwrecked 64 for this exact reason as well, if you're familiar with it. MyHouse.WAD is also a great example, alongside most of ENIGMA STUDIO's games. And I came here to ask you all:

Do you have any games that gave you this feeling? Would you recommend them?

Fun landscaping architecture fact #3: Did you know that ancient Egyptian pyramids and tombs contained little scale models of gardens and life in general? They are immaculately carved and painted, allowing us to view how their lives looked in great detail. In Tomb TT280 (The burial site of Meketre) archeologists found several models. Look up the likes of "Meketre Tomb Models" to find pictures, it's fascinating!
