A good 'mindfuck' video game to play?

Metal Gear Solid. The second one alone will kill your brain. They straightened it out by the fourth one but. . . well you were not there for the years after the second one came out and even now there are people who are just lost. I mean it all does make sense but . . . you know what, just play the game, it will all make sense. (or not)
Edit: Don't skip to the fourth one. Play them in order.

Agreed, but the mind-fuckery only starts towards the end.Indigo_Dingo said:
Malfunctioning Colonel Campbell (A.I) quotes:
"An Anemone or Clematis plant's juice can cause a rash. When pruning them it's a good idea to wear gloves."
"I was a North American Fall Webworm in my past life. Those were the good old days..."
"Weapon Mode Socom Level 01 Destroy all targets to reach the goal! Number of targets: 3."
"Variety level 13: Rescue Meryl! The Return of Genola!"
"Kawanishi-Noseguchi, Kinunobibashi, Takiyama, Uguisunomori, Tsuzumigataki, Tada, Hirano, Ichinotorii, Uneno, Yamashita, Sasabe, Kofudai, Tokiwadai, Myoukenguchi."
The mind-fuckery doesn't stop.
You left out the best one: "I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hari-kari rock. I need scissors! 61!"nathan-dts said:
and of course "TURN THE GAME CONSOLE OFF NOW, RAIDEN!"
This is what I thought of when I saw this thread. Eternal Darkness's sanity effects were thoroughly hair raising, especially if you are a veteran of the horror genre. Sure, the undead, a storyline similar to that of Cthulhu Mythos, and a very impressive atmosphere are apparent, but what's really gonna fuck you up? A terrifyingly difficult boss battle with the bane of your existence (really, he is), or the monitor suddenly saying that your controller port is empty and that the controller has been yanked out during said battle. That or that your memory card is corrupt.Frizzle said:
Either Eternal Darkness or most of the Silent Hill series. 'Nuff said.
POSTAL 2 EXPANSION I agree with
Also Call od Cthulu Dark corners of the earth was a very good mindfuck/horror (yes both)
I still have to try sanity's requiem
and Bioshock wasn't all that bad in comparison to some other things (the high detail water in it made all the blood and gore just look fake beyond belief)
If anybody's into anime rather than games I seriously recommend "Higurashi no naku koro ni" and "Elfen Lied" at the very least. There's others but if you don't like those 2 you might aswell just throw yourself off a cliff.

I remember when I first played MGS2 and I got to that bit, not knowing what was going to happen.jboking said:
The first codec call I got from the Colonel was something along the lines of:
"You're not trying to cheat the game are you Raiden? Thats pretty low."
I don't remember the exact phrasing but it was along those lines.
Especially as I wasn't using cheats or anything, I wasn't sure whether the game thought I was cheating and that was the way it responded if you did or if it was supposed to be happening.
In an attempt to make sense of it I called back and got the one mentioned directly above.
I was actually thinking that maybe technology had chosen that exact moment to go crazy and revolt against mankind. Then I realised how stupid I was to think that.
The whole experience wasn't helped by the fact that I was playing when it was very late in semi-darkness, I was the only one awake and in those secitons the codec view is zoomed in on the colonels face.
But yes, that was a huge mindfuck.
Weird Dreams. Insanely hard game where you have gone into a coma on the operating table and just have to wake up.
The thing is...your nightmares are becoming real...and one touch from the Desert Fish, The Frozen Chicken, The Carnivorous Roses and dit...dit...deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Darkseed as well. Especially as it's based on H.R. Giger's art.
Wicked. Where you are the Forces of Light battling the Forces of Darkness across the Constellations with only the Tarot to help.
I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.
Personal Nightmare, The HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy, The Monty Python Game, Elvira 1/2, Waxworks...
Probably will think of more later.

I've been playing Flower, Sun and Rain on the DS and it's rather freaky in a sort of killer 7 kind of way.
The suffering is a good choice of mindfucking game, and can be downloaded for free (legally) now from http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/12984/The+Suffering+Free+Game
