OFF
Undertale before Undertale. It's an RPG about this enigmatic humanoid entity known as the Batter, who is described as being on a "sacred mission" to "purify" the world. If you like morally grey protagonists and plot twists you'll like this.

Ace Attorney
Danganronpa but more on the trial and law side. Interesting plot and each of the characters are so lovable. It has a really cool and unique art style and the story is pretty good. Also I used Ace Attorney in my personal statement lmao

Silent Hill 2
What can I say about this game that hasn't been said before. This is a masterpiece. Though you might not like horror, this piece is truly divine and it's easy to see where it got its popularity from. Pyramid Head is from this game

Tomb Raider
I swear the sexualisation of Lara Croft ruined so much potential players of the Tomb Raider series. Lara Croft is a girl's girl. If you watched Unchartered or Indiana Jones, I know you'll love this. The gameplay is so nice and the open world environment is seriously impressive.

Guilty Gear
You might've seen the femboy from this game. This game is a fighting game in an anime style. The lore is so complicated it could probably rival the likes of FNAF. This game has the most diverse cast of characters I've ever seen in any games. If you like overpowered characters with increasingly odd names, this game is for you. It's also in the Metrotown arcade.

FAITH: THE UNHOLY TRINITY
A cool pixel style horror game about a priest who has to kill some monsters. I just love games that involve christianity, it's so cool.

Bayonetta
The one and only icon BAYONETTA herself! She's a shapeshifting half witch and half lumen sage who kills angels that wreak havoc with her guns and hair.

Persona 5
Yandere Simulator WISHES they could have this amazing social simulation system. Taking place in modern-day Tokyo, the story follows a high school student AKA Joker who transfers to a new school. Over the course of a school year, he and other students awaken their persona, becoming a group of secret vigilantes known as the Phantom Thieves.

Elevator Hitch
From the same creator of Dead Plate, this short horror game is set in an, well, elevator. Each stop you'll experience some freaky stuff that may or may not kill you. ALSO CHECK OUT COLD FRONT!!!

Mortal Kombat 1
The fighting game you've heard me rave about. A great intro to the series, this game has great lore that is pretty simple to understand. All of the characters are loveable and if you know the previous lore there'll be some bonus things you might get.

Class of '09
It's like South Park, but if Cartman was a sassy highschool girl. Every sentence in there makes me laugh.

Akudama Drive (Anime)
If you like Persona or Danganronpa, I think you'd love this. Be warned though, it gets darker at the end. So good.

The Story of How I Went to a Mixer and There Were No Women There (Manga)
3 guys attend a mixer hoping to get some girls. Somehow, they end up with three cross-dressers! I love it. I love it so much

Link Click (Donghua)
Donghua about two guys who have time manipulation abilities and them solving various mysteries. The art is beautiful.

Perfect Blue (Anime)
Psychological thriller about a parasocial attachment to a diva-turned-actor. Very unsettling but such a good watch.

Tomodachi Game (Anime and Manga)
I LOVE KATAGIRI YUUICHI!!! Ok being fr now, it's a elimination type game where Katagiri and his friend group is forced to compete to pay off their debt. It's like Danganronpa (or any killing games in general) but more psychological.

Company And Private Life (Manga)
A popular guy and a unpopular girl are coworkers. But the twist is that the guy is actually a crossdressing lolita, and the girl is a crossdressing cool punk. They meet in their crossdress, but they don't know that they work at the same company.

The Summer Hikaru Died (Manga)
I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting but it turned out to be so much cooler than whatever I was thinking. Got into it thinking it's a wholesome young love thing and then finding it depressing and fucked up.

Requiem of the Rose King (Manga, the anime is trash)
Loosely based on the Shakespearean plays Henry VI, Part 3 and Richard III, it's about intersex Richard III during the tumultuous Wars of the Roses period in English history. The artwork is AMAZING. Richard is a tragic and cool character and observing how each character treats him is very interesting. We get to see the evolution of how he feels about his body, and about gender itself, and how it determines so much of your life, especially in the 1400s.

Panty and Stocking (Anime but with a cartoony style)
Imagine the powerpuff girls, but for a much more mature audience. By the insanely talented artists that are now at studio trigger, panty and stocking is one of the best nonstop action animes I've seen. Too bad there's only one season even after 10 years

Monthly Girl's Nozaki-Kun (Anime)
It makes me laugh. You can also recognise a lot of memes from this show.

Secret Alliance (Manhwa)
It's a wholesome GL... right?

Madoka Magica (Anime)
Well animated, amazing story. Go into it with the intent to watch a magical girl story, 'cause after all, that's what it is
