In the wide world of video games, there are many archetypes that are known, accepted, praised, and played rampantly. There are classic first-person shooters like Call of Duty or Battlefield. There are platformers like Sonic and Mario. There are role-playing games like World of Warcraft and The Elder Scrolls, and there are plenty more categories that everyone knows and loves. Then there are the weird ones.
Anyone who’s browsed around for games long enough has probably stumbled across a few.
