I miss the PS1 / Saturn era of gaming...because developers were still getting their brains wrapped around 3D game development and some of that weird 16 bit "lets do something odd" sensibility leaked into the PS1 era of game development. Sure you got iconic games like Resident Evil...but you also got games like Dark Tale: From the Lost Soul, a first person survival horror game from Sammy that is equal parts totally weird and super unique and intriguing.
It's basically RE in first person decades before RE would get there with some survival horror elements mixed in with old DOS point and click puzzles. Odd combo but damn if it doesn't work.
But the PS1 era was filled with these types of games that seemed to hang their hat on the weirder aspects of story while also delivering a unique and ultimately fun gaming experience. Sadly so many of them have faded into complete obscurity...but they def shouldn't have
but I am curious what others oddball games from that era are? There are so many...not all worth playing but a solid amount that are
