Silly/goofy/purposely bad games

Recommendations by MathBrush

These are games that are funny because they are ridiculous or completely absurd. This does not include games like Tex Bonaventure or Rogue of the Multiverse which have developed plot lines and long stretches of non absurdity.

PUTPBAD is pretty simple; if you pick up the phone booth, you die.

This parody/redo of the previous game incorporates the one-action-many-endings idea of aisle to give a variety of whimsical endings.

A parody of bad horror games that is actually well-developed, with good puzzles and even an intermittent combat RPG.

Absurdist game where ingredients are falling from the sky for your recipe.
