The new game releases this week are a little bizarre. Whether it’s taking a pretty grim concept and putting it into a cute aesthetic or literally stepping into dreams, these games are playing with surrealism. It helps that a lot of them are tied to familiar genres, because the places they go might be a little uncomfortable.
Spilled! is a colorful little game about cleaning up oil and plastic. It looks chill and inviting, but your job is to save the world from all the waste. Over in Atomfall, the world is already gone, ravaged by a nuclear disaster. There are bright green fields warped by irradiated fissures and melted buildings. The nightmares continue in Karma: The Dark World, a horror game where you solve crimes by hopping into the heads of the suspects. And at the end of the week, InZoi arrives with its uncanny characters and hyperrealistic cities. It may be a chill life sim, but it can’t escape feeling a little disturbing with how perfect everything is.
Here are our most anticipated game releases for the week of March 24.
