I had a few left over from the last giveaway, and I threw a small mystery bundle in while I was picking up some Warhammer 40k games. Rogue Trader and Mechanicus are so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
To enter, link me your favorite mind-bending or existentially horrifying short story and name the game you want. First come, first serve. I try to keep the list updated as games are claimed
Anything from flash fiction to a novella, just give my brain something weird to chew on.

Read all the way through the sports and buckle up. No game for me, but enjoy anyway.

Hopefully not too mainstream for you, but The Lottery by Shirley Jackson has always stuck with me.
Can I snag The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinay? I'm travelling right now and point-and-click fits the bill. (I'm in the middle of Deponia at the moment.)

BLIT is always a good one.

Nice, love a good cognitohazard. Were you interested in any of the games?

Of course, thank you very much. I've already got AtmaSphere and Isle of Jura in my library. Ad Infinitum looks interesting if it's still up for grabs.

Someone also made a short film of it, with the Cash Cab dude of all people.

Honestly, I haven't read a bunch of mind-bending stories lately, though I know some of those that I think would fit? Here's mine:
Local58 is probably the obvious one. It was created by the creator of Candle Cove back in 2015, and probably the one that popularized this genre.
MyHouse.wad - technically not a short story but it has a journal and the game itself is weird as it was.
Interested in Anvil Saga if you still have it.
Thank you for the chance, OP.

Oh neat, I saw You are on the Fastest Available Route before, but never dug in and saw they have a whole channel of weird analog stuff.

Ic Ic.
... Wait, wdym by "Fastest Available Route?" I'm just wondering what do you mean by that?
Apeman42@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 97d
It's one of the videos on that Local58 channel. Spoopy dashcam footage.

It is the short story Predestination movie is based on called All You Zombies.
I would like Technotopia if available

I've read the story but hadn't heard about the movie. I'll have to check that out. Key sent!

The Cold Equations by Tom Godwin (Space Sci-Fi)
Edit: Not as good as I remembered, so have another one:
The Jaunt by Stephen King
I'd love The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav!

Blindsight by Peter Watts. Is sentience merely a quirk?

Nightmare Magazine is generally a great site for horror short stories. I liked The Maw.
Would love to try Tropico 4.

That'll be great to browse through, thanks! Key sent.

I'm late, but wanted to share this story.
It's a good 30 minute read.
