Surreal/Vapourwave games

I've been trying to get The Abyss: Incident at Europa working because it looks pretty dank.

You're using the word vaporwave wrong, surreal yes, vaporwave no.

Oh shut up internet expert

Excellent list, although I'm not sure about Densha De GO. Personally I'd add Baroque for PS1/Saturn as well:

The fuck is "vaporwave" about Baroque?

>>2866275
I'm not sure how to define vapourwave when it comes to games, but Baroque is definitely weird/surreal so it fits with OP's theme.

>>2866273

It's surreal/vaporwave not surreal+vaporwave

That's Iblard Laputa no Kaeru Machi, good luck finding it

How do you define vaporwave in video games?

>>2867521
Game has weird art-style and isn't fun.

Pretty much the only requirements.

It doesn't get more vaporwave than Alpha Waves. The soundtrack is gorgeous, too.

In the computer industry, vaporware (also spelt vapourware) is a product, typically computer hardware or software, that is announced to the general public but is never actually manufactured nor officially cancelled. Use of the word has broadened to include products such as automobiles.

I am actually impressed. You were not kidding.

vaporwave is a /mu/ meme about slowed down elevator music and purple ntsc filters

>>2867910

wow, something actually came out of /mu/ and affected real humans? that's unusual

and not so surprisingly, it's something dumb

Saints of Virtue was an awful game made in 2001, the first stage are a bunch of ironic 90's themed rooms.

Vaporwave is called vaporwave because of how the songs have been filtered and quality degraded to the point where it sounds like a wash or "vapor" of sound. It is utterly moronic to say that a videogame is vaporwave because it looks weird. Which doesn't even make sense in the first place. Vaporwave isn't even about looking weird - it's about looking like old CGI, japanese import box arts, malls from the 80s, old internet instructional videos. That sort of thing. OP is a retard.

I recommend these 2 games.

The general idea of vaporwave games is "games that look like they might be used as an album cover for some vaporwave hack's music album on bandcamp". Or to put put it short, AESTHETICS.

Don't argue aesthetics son, they're not your thing.

>>2866617
>the correct term is surreal/vaporwave, or, as I've recently taken to calling it, surreal+vaporwave

>>2869206
>hurr I happen to be an expert on memes
Guess who's the bigger retard?

>>2869508

Jesus christ you're ignorant.

It's actually not even a meme. It's a real musical genre. You probably just heard about it on 4chan and assume it's a meme. It's a 100% real ass musical genre, you uncultured idiot.

Vaporware is a product that won't get released. You can't argue any game as vaporware. It would have to be an unplayable art project.

Not sure what you mean by vaporwave, but some games I thought were really surreal:
>Shivers 1 and 2
>Obsidian
>Eastern Mind
>Gadget (more of an interactive story than a game)
>L-Zone (more of just an interactive art project than a game, I'm not sure if there's an ending)
>Alice: An Interactive Museum
>Peter Gabriel's Eve

Also I suppose Myst and Riven are pretty surreal. The later games have a more fantasy/sci-fi feel.

>>2867701
>Alpha Waves
Wow. This looks like an artsy indie game trying to look like an old game. Wow, even that menu is interesting at 1:48.

>>2871029
Shame it plays kind of like shit IMO

>>2870978
>It's a real musical genre.
lol no it's not kiddo

>>2871018

someone can't read

>>2870978

you're pathetic man. it's slowed down elevator music and you talk as if it's classical music or something.

>>2864462
lmao this faggot again. magic knight rayearth looks like pretty trashy vaporwave
