You should check out Modus Interactive's library. He is a friend of mine, and his work has inspired mine in many ways. His game Respite 1.0 is extremely unique and is on steam, and his game Iketsuki rules.

Off the top of my head, I'd recommend Hypnagogia. It's free on itch.io and is very much in the same vein. Slightly different from this game but still worth mentioning, I'd also recommend Yume Nikki and its fangames (.flow, Yume 2kki, Deep Dreams, and so on) as well as the game Ib for a similar dreamlike vibe and good pixel art.

Funny you should say that. I always thought it was very similar to Sanguine Sanctum

Another game similar to this is 'Stars Die'

Normality

i find this one cringy but its a similar game but the graphics are modern

There's something about these titles that hits on a different spot that I did not know I needed. Especially in an era where the powertrip AAA titles lost their interest. Here the world expects nothing, is content about itself - and there's a cetain comfort in that.
By far the best recommendation I can give you is Paratopic:

Grahically it is superb. The level of quality they did with the colors and lighting results in some very appealing visuals and the whole Lynchian world is simply perfect.
Then there's another game - this I've yet to try though but it looks right up my alley:

They have another title coming up soon called ECHOSTASIS and it seems just as promising.

A game I found similar in fright factors is 'Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk' https://store.steampowered.com/app/1392820/Milk_inside_a_bag_of_milk_inside_a_bag_of_milk/
and 'Yume Nikki',

though everything else about them differs from this game.

i HIGLY raccomand Lost in vivo at the moment is my favorite horror game so ..yeah play it !

I like Low-Poly horror as well.

https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43203925/ here's my curator list which is focused on atmospheric first-person exploration. lots of surreal titles there. have a look.

2nd to Hypnagogia, but ive only played the steam version. Hypnagogia: Boundless Dreams https://store.steampowered.com/app/1665500/Hypnagogia__Boundless_Dreams/ actually one of my fav games ever. boot it up sometimes just to walk around

Thanks I dl-ed the demo.

Check out the works published by DOMINO CLUB; they're in a similar vein. Erostasis and TRAUMAKT~4.SEXE are my favorites of theirs.

Many interest game, not sure total similar, but surreal a bit ...
