Black Closet
Black Closet is a strange game. This is a game produced by Hanako Games, whose most well-known thing is probably Long Live the Queen, the getting-poisoned-by-chocolates-because-you-don't-have-enough-dogs-skill simulator.
Black Closet doesn't feel quite as strange to play as Long Live the Queen, but it definitely isn't a normal game. You're Elsa Jackson, the newly appointed student council president at a prestigious all-girls school. There's something weird going on, with lots of trouble starting, and since you're new money, if the student council appears to react badly, you'll be kicked out of school as a scapegoat. As such, it's up to you to send out the other members of the student council to weed out trouble-makers via stat comparisons and dice rolls. This is very intentionally made to seem harsh and disturbing, with words such as "Harass", "Intimidate" or "Stalk" used to describe the actions you take. Be too harsh, and the student council will appear to be too authoritarian. Be too soft, and trouble-makers will cause the school's reputation to plummet.
Add to this the fact that you're locked into a VN style story with a council member of your choosing in between telling people to harass someone with a baseball bat, which can range everywhere from a touching romance to using someone as your weirdly emotionless servant, and you've got yourself a really bizarre, dark, unpleasant, whimsical, funny, disturbing game that is one of the most unique things I've experienced in years. I look forward to Hanako Games' next game.
