* ''VideoGame/DeathStranding'' fits into the realm of new weird quite nicely, following the story of Sam Porter Bridges, a courier in a post-apocalyptic United States following "the Death Stranding", a cataclysmic event that altered the rules of life and death. Some of the things this game features are: ghost babies, other special babies kept in pods designed to detect said ghost babies, people with really on the nose names, a Conan O'Brian cameo, a man who dies every 21 minutes, transporting snuggly packed people (and corpses) on your back, metaphysical time travel to [=WW1=], a woman who uses death itself to run a transportation busness via teleportation, a cult of mad delivery people who are addicted to the high of delivering packages, mechanical autonomous cargo delivering legs, in-game peeing mechanics, and many other things.

* The ''Franchise/{{Dishonored}}'' series takes places in an [[BoldExplorer age of exploration]] setting, with things like {{steampunk}} technology powered by whale-oil, an invasive species of rats, and cut-throat politics ''as well as'' magical powers, witches, and a mysterious immortal being empowering a series of special beings with magical powers to use and abuse as they (and the player choose). Its aesthetics are hard to describe and it can best be described as Creator/TerryPratchett's ''Franchise/{{Discworld}}'' mixed with ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'' and Creator/NeilGaiman with LovecraftLite elements.

* ''Tribe 8'' is set in a post-apocalypse CozyCatastrophe island called Vilmary which is located in the ruins of Montreal, Canada. The hockey-stick and shotgun totting Montrealers were liberated from the EldritchAbomination invaders, the Z'bri by the Goddess's 8 avatars the Fatima, so their worshippers formed 7 tribes while the outcasts and criminals had their own tribe dedicated to the slain Fatima, Joshua the Ravager. Meanwhile the Z'bri rampage to the north and savage Americans act like jerks in the south while the tribes mess around with magic formed from dreams. Tribe 8 has the same artists as the ones on ''TabletopGame/MechanicalDream'' and shares much of the French-Canadian fantastical attitude of that game.

* ''Manga/ChainsawMan'' has one of the most [[EldritchAbomination bizarre interpretations]] of [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]] in Manga: Monsters born of and wielding powers themed humanity's greatest fears. While the concept sounds simple at the surface, the setting's AlternateHistory means that most powerful Devils have fairly odd themes; the current most dangerous Devil in existence is Gun, a [[OurMonstersAreWeird massive, vaguely humanoid torso made from screaming human faces and rifles]] who killed hundreds of thousands of people the moment it emerged and left all of humanity so terrified of firearms that it rode a feedback loop to godlike power. This was not the divergence point that made it an alternate history — the world is different because [[spoiler:the Chainsaw Devil, the previous incarnation of the titular Chainsaw Man and itself a Devil of incredible power, made a name for itself slaying and eating other Devils, wiping not only them from existence but also the very concepts they represented. Many of humanity’s greatest horrors, such as nuclear weapons, World War 2 and the Nazi Party, and [=AIDs=] were among the consumed (alongside stranger things that [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou don’t exist in our world, either]]), have been utterly erased from history thanks to it.]]
