It’s a truly bizarre game, mix of intentionally and unintentionally weird. It had a license to use Giger’s art though and basically cobbled together all it’s “dark world” characters and environments by photoshopping his most famous paintings together.
For example - this is basically the background to that video clip, but in the game it’s Ik and Uk - two guards with funny “dumb-guy” voices who give Mike Dawson the ol’ “one guard tells the truth and one lies” puzzle.
I could never really get into it myself actually because gameplay wise it kinda sucks, it’s very much one of those “use everything on everyone until you find a trigger that lets you move on” type adventure games. I mostly remember it from a couple of let’s plays and I liked this retrospective a lot.
There’s one pretty famous let’s play of it from back in the day, though there’s a lot of 2000’s era edgy humour in it, so I’m loath to really recommend it.

I just found the visual jarring and yeah it’s weird, don’t think I made it far. Might have to spin it up again, something my 2010 macbook can handle!
