Jimmy and The Pulsating Mass
Haven't finished it (only past the 1st island) but it already had one really out of nowhere spooky section that was fuckin' goooood. It also has this vaguely unstable tone that's felt through out the game (think Earthbound's underlying creepy moments cranked up to 11)

And another New vegas Channel
Strngvegas uploaded a new Video two days ago and this Channel was mentioned in the comments. It seems that all those Channels have a Connection, maybe users of the same Forum that is mentioned in drb0schs intro.

Forgotten Memories Remaster about to pass lotcheck for Switch
I doubt anyone remembers this game but it was an iPhone exclusive 3rd person horror years ago and was a very Silent Hill esque physiological horror game. I forgot I actually followed them on Facebook so long ago and I thought they had actually cancelled this a while ago, but cool to see it finally happening.

Weird stuff in ykw2 nuzlocke
I was watching a YKW2 nuzlocke and saw something weird, but only for one frame (around 10:27 in the second video). There might be more, but I was just too lazy to watch the rest. Also, there are more videos, and I am not sure if there is anything weird.
playlist is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-ekSmfTRzQ&list=PLLRdb7nIVgqbH99Ak1G3-UHsMejBkv5Nu

Recommend me games like Corpse Party.
Just finished Corpse Party 2021 and I'm itching for something more. Please recommend me games that are like it. I play on PS5/Switch so no PC/Steam recommendation games sadly. I'm also really into Danganronpa. Something about high school kids trying to just murder each other is genre that I didn't realized I liked until now. I've also seen the anime "Another" this past Halloween and I fucking loved it so please, give me games with vibes like. Murder, mystery, and kids killing each other lol.

Indie game Picayune Dreams has a sequence with these distorted faces and a grim reaper like figure standing in the middle staring at you.
It's unknown what exactly these entities are as it is never explicitly explained due to the nature of the games storytelling.

MS-DOS browser game
I once came across a video about a browser game with an aesthetic that was somewhere between MS-DOS and Windows 95. That video had a link to it in the description. When I clicked on it, I was brought to a site with a bunch of game "modes", if you could call it that. All of them were centered around oval-shaped bunnies. As in ovals with bunny ears and little feet on their bottoms. One of the modes was the player character, one of the bunnies, collecting more bunnies for a cult who then jumped off a cliff. The overall ending of that mode was the player posting to Twitter (back when it was still called that) about how they made a cult kill themselves. The only other mode that I remember was one where one of the bunnies falls onto a spike and you have to talk to it to keep it from wanting to die. I saw that video years, maybe even a decade ago, and since then I can't find it again. I've tried looking up Twitter posts about "I made a cult kill themselves" and stuff, but I've never turned up anything. It felt too real to be a dream.

Horror Games with Multiple Endings & Decisions
I'm such a sucker of multiple endings and decisions when it comes to spooky games...I've played almost all of them!
Heavy Rain was the first one that got me good (it's not that horror, but it's thriller-ish and perfectly crafted). Recently I finished the Quarry, and boy it was amazing the way that each decision impacts the story and the endings.
Most of these multiple ending games are gems: https://creepybonfire.com/horrortainment/the-best-horror-games-with-multiple-endings-your-choice-matter/ but Heavy Rain will always be my No.1

this unity asset made/low quality made game, yet highly disturbing and obscure mobile game that some played as a child: Schoolgirl Supervisor
an online mutual i have just came out with this video on a very odd game me and others have played as a child that was highly forgotten and left as kind of a fever dream. this video is an in-depth documentary on the developer and the history of a mobile game called Schoolgirl Supervisor. The intro might be deceiving at first, but trust me this video takes you into a rabbit hole especially around the 30 minute mark when it jumps into the lore of this weird game, even more when it starts getting to the super disturbing oddities of the game and the developer. I highly recommend checking it out

Name that game(anyone is welcomed)
Name a game that is not just obscure but is also strange in sense that "what was going on in the devs mind?" when working on the game?
Obviously no silent hill or games that are generally known games because those aren't really obscure.
And while at it do tell why do you think it is obscure?
EDIT: I have noticed that some have posted games that they seem to be obscure but aren't really or don't fit criteria above, so let me clarify one more time. Obscure games that have videos on such Ao Oni or Yume Nikki won't be counted since youtubers from that era have done videos and playthroughs on those games, bring something that is hidden but also following criteria above please

City of The Dead from Fallout. May not sound scary on its own, it's the locations they play in-game that really make it terrifying. If they all have one thing in common, it's making the player feel like they're alone and in danger.

My most unexpected claustrophobic experience in recent gaming.
Hi!
I have never been a person to get scared easily. Maybe because so many titles rely on jumpscares or unexpected gruesome brutality nowadays. Still Lunacid managed to creep me out even though it is not a horror game in the slightest.
At first it was chill but the longer I played, the more unsettling in became. But soon narrow corridors, music and entities that began to follow my character around basically made me bless the fact that I got into it during daytime.
Especially these bastards.
