10 Messed Up Nintendo Switch Games You Won't Believe Exist

A sneak preview of what would happen if Bomberman turned to the Dark Side, Brawl is one of the more sinister games on this list, which is saying something.

While the similarities between Brawl and Bomberman are hard to miss, the point will not be laboured here.

Choosing from one of eight unnervingly creepy characters ranging from a stunted clown to a sentient mannequin, the player must navigate puzzle rooms populated by murderous minions.

Entering the Emporium the player must run the gauntlet of the story mode by planting bombs and utilising unique special abilities to defeat the enemies and reach the goal, all the while being taunted by the Hammer Horror evoking narrator.

While the core gameplay conceit is simple enough, and local multiplayer modes abound, it is the characters and presentation which will have parents placing Brawl out of the reach of their darling progeny.

A blind girl with her knife-wielding teddy bear, a wheelchair-bound crash test dummy and - undoubtedly creepiest of all - the very Joker-esque Mime are just some of the characters the player will utilise to escape the nightmare setting.

With off-key lullabies and strained, creaky carnival music providing the soundtrack to the proceedings, this game is just plain weird.
