I would suggest watching the video first to see if this is one's cup of tea. I suggested this site a few days ago and a lot of the reviews would make Good Games to Grab as WR suggested, Middens is the latest review:
One of the most strange, surreal, and just generally “out there” games I’ve covered on the show – Middens, by “myformerselves” will definitely catch you off guard. It’s an exploration heavy RPG with a semi-open world and tons of wild sights to see. You’ll enjoy interacting with some verbose and eclectic NPCs, including a revolver with lips and eyes that acts as your character’s ID. I truly apologize for the terrible sound quality in this episode, I had tested and thought it was fixed, and then the issue came back. I’ve completely fixed it since this recording however. Middens comes highly recommended.

Following is a blurb from download site:
Collage is the noble conquest of the irrational, the coupling of two realities, irreconcilable in appearance, upon a plane which apparently does not suit them." (Max Ernst)
Middens is an exploration game using collage and original pixel art in tandem that takes the perspective of a drifter traversing a veritable x-zone. Roving its interminable wastes the nomad chances upon a sentient revolver beside an ominous pile of remains.
The pistol offers its exploit in exchange for a pledge of inextricable compansionship. Espousing to be the player's conscience the dubious weapon directs the drifter to a nearby outpost wherein the story further unfolds.
Despite its appearance as a wasteland the rift is home to many strange denizens---
some volatile and others ineffectual. Whatever their disposition the pistol represents the choice to engage them or to spare them. Aggression and passivity have their appropriate times with rewards and consequences being granted to both paths respectively.
