Illbleed on the Dreamcast? This game is peak bizarre, and I mean that in the best way. It’s a survival horror title that's also a love letter and a critique of the genre itself, set in a horror-themed amusement park. You're trying to win prize money by surviving traps, not just monsters. Its clunky controls and weird design choices were part of its charm, a genuinely experimental title that dared to be different. Of course, it got no love, because "different" scares publishers more than zombies.
