Point and click adventures of the WTF variety.
Happy Game
I laughed at the warning disclaimer that "Happy Game is not a Happy Game" and yes, in it you guide a child through a bloody and terrifying nightmare via point and clicking through worse and worse "puzzles" but given the nature of the setting you need a lot of trial and error to work things out. For instance you'll only learn by doing when you crank the hand of a giant bloody teady bear to slowly tear its head off and crank the other hand to make the cyclops skull creature inside come out to pull out its own eye. Blood aplenty ahoy! But boy does it make you work for it...
Botanicula
If the previous game was too dark for you, rejoice for this one is much lighter but still in the super strange variety where a bunch of happy tree friends are trying to take a seed and plant it in the floor below without getting caught by the black stick figure spider creature(s). Easier said than done as incredibly obtuse puzzles are both funny and difficult to work out with a fair bit of "find the pixel to click on" in play. I did enjoy the random creatures you keep running into but not enough to recommend this game.
