Weirdest Game Concept you've Seen

I've recently finished playing Sin & Punishment off the VC and, even though it was a fun Rails-Shooter, it had such a weird plot and characters I wondered what the developers were on when they made it.

So, now I would like to ask you guys what's the weirdest polt-wise game you've seen/played?
 
The weirdest game I've played is Champions of Norrath. It was a standard RPG for a while going through forests and whatnot. Then all of a sudden you're in a desert for no reason. Then later you are in the future (I think) and in a Dark Elf city. The game overall is cool, but the it was kind of weird.

It's probably not the weirdest game concept around, but you gotta give the Katamari series some credit for turning a quirky idea into something addictively fun. World of Goo does a similar thing.

Hrm. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but I'm sure I'm missing some choice titles...

Definitely another weird video game concept is in my opinion portal I mean it is definitely original. The cake is a lie

The World Ends With You.

Emo teenagers team up to fight enemies, that no-one else can see, with the fabulous power of fashionable accessories. And that's just the first day.

Actually, upon saying that, it sounds like El's perfect game.
 
...By saying The World Ends With You is a weird game you just made THE LIST... lol, just kidding, just kidding. :)

Another game I forgot to mention might be Typing of the Dead. When you think of typing lessons, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Blowing up zombies of course!...wait, what?

That game had terrible voice acting, plus ridiculous (yet entertaining) gameplay.
 
the Persona series have an awesome, but also quirky concept. Summoning your inner self, which almost always takes on some bizarre almost-demonic form to save the world from all hell breaking loose? Persona 3 in particular had you doing it by shooting yourself in the head. A fun game, but also very bizarre, I think.
