* ''VideoGame/EndlessOcean'', which embraces the player [[WideOpenSandbox doing things at his own leisure]] and does little to nothing to penalize him. It even got mocked by professional reviewers for not including such expected things as a life gauge, weapons, or a point.

* ''VideoGame/EndlessOcean'', which embraces the player [[WideOpenSandbox doing things at his own leisure]] and does little to nothing to penalize him. It even got mocked by professional reviewers for not including such expected things as a life gauge, weapons, or a point. Comments directed at trailers for the franchise's third installment, ''VideoGame/EndlessOceanLuminous'', show that the series ''still'' hasn't escaped this, with frequent questions of what players ''do'' in the game.

* ''VideoGame/LindaCube'' is the result of when a company got sick of making generic titles inspired by ''Franchise/DragonQuest'' and decided to do whatever they wanted. It features three separate story scenarios with the same setup and mostly the same cast of characters, but in each scenario the characters' personalities and roles can change drastically. You can expect to see a violently {{Tsundere}} co-protagonist, an EvilTwin who works for a pharmaceutical company that makes its employees wear Santa outfits, a MadScientist who ''very'' strongly resembles UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, a clone girl who can shapeshift into a laser-shooting bug-like creature, a man who has his wife fused into his chest, and much more.

* ''VideoGame/TheStanleyParable'' initially appears to have a coherent narrative about a man named Stanley investigating the mysterious disappearance of his co-workers. However, the story only continues in this way if you follow the Narrator's attempts to {{Railroad|ing}} you into a specific path, and any attempt to disobey will cause the story to go completely OffTheRails. Possible endings include things like Stanley becoming a famous author after writing a book about going up and down in an elevator too many times; or Stanley being transported to another dimension where there are nothing but buttons to press; or Stanley spending his entire life watching footage of silly birds with a bucket that may or may not be an evil entity in disguise.

* ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'' has you defending your house from a zombie invasion headed by a zombie MadScientist in a mech. Your allies are a bunch of sapient plants that spit EdibleAmmunition and a crazy man with a pan on his head. [[VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies2ItsAboutTime The sequel]] makes things even weirder by introducing TimeTravel to the mix.

* ''VideoGame/SquirrelStapler'' is a HorrorComedy game where you need to hunt squirrels and staple them to your "wife" (actually a dismembered corpse) to make her beautiful again. If you kill too many squirrels you get to meet [[spoiler:God]], who is a giant squirrel head with bizarre appendages and an exposed brain.

* ''Bein Panzer'' is an odd (especially for its time) alternate history RealTimeStrategy Playstation 1 game with economic/military development - where in World War 2, humanity has a space elevator between Earth and Mars as well as factions that are analogues to real-life countries. The war will be fought using tanks with legs among other DieselPunk oddities.
