I could really use another whacky Japanese game like Deadly Premonition right now.

So LTTP but I finished DP recently and my wife an I liked it a lot. Just the right amount of Japanese whack and Twin Peaks atmosphere. Now I'm trying to come up with another game that maybe hits the same spot that is enjoyable for a viewer too. I'm thinking about another Swery game like D4 but that doesn't seem to have an ending. Best would be a game that is below the 20 hour mark since Final Fantasy VII is coming soon.

I need recommendations. Platforms are PC and PS4. Thnaks in advance.

Kinda burnt out since I played all of them back to back except 6. But that would be a good choice, yeah.

Definitely play The Missing.

Don't know this one, I will check it out thanks.

Killer7 is definitely whacky but not really interesting to watch someone play. Also I already played it. But thanks nonetheless.

if you are interested in DP2 then you should play D4. also yeah The Missing is excellent.

Is it worth playing if it will never be finished?

I might check it out but I don't think my wife will be interested in reading a ton of text. But I will keep it in mind for myself, thanks.

That's the thing. It is going to be finished. It's part of Deadly Premonition 2. Swery has basically confirmed this on twitter. They are going to meet up in some way. The apartment building from D4 is in DP2. The main character of D4 is there. Don't want to spoil D4 but I think it will be worth the time to play it.

Disaster Report 4 is right around the corner. From what I understand, it's supposed to be both weird and janky.

Was just coming here to recommend this. My copy arrived today and while playing it I just had to get dressed as a cashier clerk for a corner shop and serve customers in order to get a guy to tell me where toilet roll was hidden so another guy could leave his toilet cubicle.

And this is during a category 7 earthquake with buildings collapsing all around you.

I love the Disaster Report games.

Ah man. I can't wait for my physical verion to arrive too. (Off topic, how wild that this game about disasters got delayed cause of the Fukushima tsunami years ago, only to drop now during covid).

As other have said: Perfect timing, Disaster Report 4 is literally releasing in 3 days! It has everything you want, including atrocious graphics and performance! \o/

the missing is another game by the director of DP that i think you'll enjoy. it still has some of that twin peaks vibe going on.

As an enormous DP fan, I'm currently playing Disaster Report 2 and having an incredible time. I can't wait to catch up to the 4th entry.

As others have said, Swery's The Missing is wonderful, as is all of Suda's work.

Actually big recommendations for D4 and Spy Fiction as well. I think Spy Fiction is particularly underrated.

Play D4. Even though it doesn't have an ending it's still great. And it seems like Deadly Premonition 2 might tie into D4.

And Killer7 is nothing like Deadly Premonition. Shenmue would be a better recommendation.

God damn I love this game. I keep getting tempted to buy it on Steam, but I know that's all I'm going to do: buy it.

I really shouldn't be adding a game I've already played to death to my backlog....should I?

the HELP Menu.
If you want a weird loveable game full of charm and strange characters, you'll love Chulip.

Coverchulip.jpg


You play a boy who just moved into a new town with his newspaper reading father, and find the love of your dreams, literally. Only problem? She only just met you and doesn't like you back just yet.

kiss.gif


So you get some advice and go on a grand adventure throughout the town to make the perfect love letter for her, and in order to gain the emotional experience and maturity (hit points) to survive and succeed in your quest, you must do various tasks and figure out a bunch of puzzles in order to kiss AS MANY TOWNS FOLK AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.

It is a very silly and comfy game, despite how stressful some parts can be at lower health, and was made by the same people who did MOON and are currently a part of Onion Games. Give this game a shot if you want something interesting, with various great characters!

Both are eccentric and quirky Japanese games that are heavily inspired by David Lynch.

From a gameplay perspective, yeah Shenmue is also quite similar to Deadly Premonition.

I'm a huge Lynch fan but I don't think Killer7 is Lynchian at all. I think Suda's games are more influenced by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Takashi Miike. Not everything surreal is Lynchian.

If we're recommending Lynchian games then Silent Hill 2 is the game to play.

I'm kinda itching for it too, but might just get the Yakuza collection of 3, 4, and 5 since 4 and 5 are the only ones I have yet to finish.

Sure it's not solely Lynch. But Killer7 has direct references and nods to Lynch's work in the game.

Sure but it's not nearly as overt as Deadly Premonition and I wouldn't call Killer7 quirky either.

Also what references? I don't remember any. I know Suda's references Jodorowsky and Miike.

LET IT DIE

It's a rogue like rpg with lots of weird stuff. Definitely no story and the gameplay is bad and so much grinding....ok yeah it's not the best game but the first 10h are really fun until the first big boss, you can stop after that
