Any games based on German Expressionism?

[phereck]

Does anyone know any videogames based around german expressionism as a art style
to be clear, i mean the film style of silent films like cabinet of dr calugari and fritz lang's metropolis, because if there is, i want to play it

Difficult question

Like you said, it's more of a style though there are certain themes running through those films.

The game Noctropolis [http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/noctropolis/screenshots] had an expressionist feel to me with its dark, futuristic fantasy and purposefully stilted/cliched acting.

Also something like Limbo [http://www.mobygames.com/game/limbo/screenshots] has an expressionist look and feel to it.

Faust: Seven Games of the Soul [http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/seven-games-of-the-soul/screenshots], Obsidian [http://www.mobygames.com/game/macintosh/obsidian/screenshots] and The Dark Eye [http://www.mobygames.com/game/win3x/dark-eye/screenshots/gameShotId,350409] have a strongly contrasting artistic design and many surreal elements.

I would love to play it too. Limbo is all I can think of at the moment, but there must be games with the exaggerated perspectives and stylistic cues of German Expessionism.

Imagine a game with environments Franz Marc's use of colour, and characters exaggerated like a Max Beckmann or Kirchner portrait. Now that would be damn cool.
