Okay, so I was looking at a fangame forum for Yume Nikki fangames, when I stumbled upon this weird game, called Middens, that was being finished when I first found it. At the time, I thought it would be another Yume Nikki copycat. Boy was I wrong--I watched the trailer and played some of it myself, and realized how trippy it really was.
The description (Note that the creator uses BIG words for dramatic effect.):
"Middens is an exploration game using collage and original pixel art in tandem that takes the perspective of a drifter traversing a veritable x-zone. Roving its interminable wastes the nomad chances upon a sentient revolver beside an ominous pile of remains.
The pistol offers its exploit in exchange for a pledge of inextricable companionship. Espousing to be the player's conscience the dubious weapon directs the drifter to a nearby outpost wherein the story further unfolds.
Despite its appearance as a wasteland the rift is home to many strange denizens---
some volatile and others ineffectual. Whatever their disposition the pistol represents the choice to engage them or to spare them. Aggression and passivity have their appropriate times with rewards and consequences being granted to both paths respectively."
Here are a couple of videos of the game itself:
