NoTe: LSD-likes like Neko Yume and ENA are not very garnular they are too slow and too walking simulator-esque to be, so I avoided them altogether on this list. Same goes for rpgs like Hylics, Vom, Space Funeral and magic wand. I contemplated also excluding point and clicks.
Also garnlikes are a subgenre of surreal games that put emphasis on exploration and are close to psychological/surreal horror games atmosphere-wise.
