I mean, it kinda fits though. Cause they have the tech to bring people back to life for only 500$. Death has no meaning, as long as you’re not poor. Why do you think you can repeat levels? You weren’t sent there to kill someone, you were sent there to punish them, so they ‘correct’ their behavior. Except they don’t learn anything, so you get the contract again… knowing they still won’t learn anything… So it’s understandable your character is depressed; nothing you do for a living matters.

Edit buttons not working for some reason so I’ll say it here: In the intro, I bet the only people who are running from the mass shooter are the ones too poor to actually afford to come back from death. The people just walking around got that change to spare, so it doesn’t matter to them. Wow, just pointing that out made me realize how shitty that world is. There are people running cause they can’t afford to die and the ones that can aren’t concerned. If what I said was true, the intro actually shows you a scene where not just your character, but rich people just causally watch as the poor die in mass.

The sickness for me is only after playing the game for a while and I'm laying in bed trying to picture a map layout or just seeing endless boxy chaos-textured geometry when I close my eyes. Or just the horror of feeling that I now have a deeper understanding of why some people can commit capricious acts of violence.

SPOILERS The true message of Cruelty Squad is about the philosophy that immortality is stupid and pointless. *The value of life is negative* because everybody is immortal in the world of Cruelty Squad. Restarting a level isn't like reversing time and starting again, you canonically killed those people and they returned to life by the time you restarted the level. It's true ending is about bringing death back into the cycle of life so that life has value and is truly worth living again. Death gives meaning to life as much as life gives meaning to death, if death cannot truly happen then life is pointless.

Here are some suggestions: -Space Funeral, OFF, Hylics, and Middens are RPGs that mostly fit the description. -Crypt Worlds is a first-person puzzle/adventure game with light platforming elements. There was supposed to be a sequel called Crypt Underworlds but it seems to be in development hell. -Mibibli's Quest is a 2D platformer that's a bit like Mega Man. It can also be brutally difficult at times. The creator also made Salad Fields as well as Sparkles & Gems which are more casual puzzle games that are still weird. -Soda Drinker Pro is great. Just trust me on this. It looks like a shitpost meant to dunk on low-quality simulation games, and it is, but you just gotta find the secret area in level 2. If you don't trust me then just look up Vivan Clark. -Revenge of the Sunfish is... indescribable. It's usually cited as being one of the original _"Psychadelic weird postmodern"_ types of games, at least in the context of modern (post 2000) internet culture. Really, just go on Itchio and search for games that are tagged as "Weird" or "Surreal" and you'll probably find a bunch of them. The site in general is great for that kind of stuff in general since it's focused on indie games.
