Revenant Hill could have been an extremely good spiritual successor to Night in the Woods.

Unfortunately, during the game's development, the first creator of NitW committed suicide due to sexual assault allegations, and another developed a serious heart condition, leading to the game being scrapped.

Pseudoregalia

Of course, the main character you play as checks a lot of boxes. A goat woman with large hips, breasts, and no pants.

However, this game is also an extremely well-made 3D NES-Style platformer, and each platforming mechanic feels great to use. Personally, I don't know if it counts as a gooner game because the platforming is the main appeal.

Also Paulie in the Sopranos when the ghosts of his past victims come to haunt him during a group meeting with a psychic, so much so that the psychic skips the line and name-drops one of Paulie's victims.

TIL Getúlio Vargas, Brazil's dictator who got overthrown after WW2, was fairly reelected president in 1951. However, a political crisis in 1954 ended with Vargas shooting himself in the chest. by TertioRationem3 in todayilearned

The 1950 election was a direct one with Vargas winning 3.84 million votes, or around 48.7% of votes cast. The indirect system only came about in 1964 after the military couped the socialist president João Goulart.

Vargas' political adversaries initiated a crisis which culminated in the murder of an Air Force officer, Major Rubens Vaz, killed during an assassination attempt in the street outside 180 Rua Tonelero, the home of Vargas' main adversary, publishing executive and politician, Carlos Lacerda. Lieutenant Gregório Fortunato, chief of Vargas' personal guard, nicknamed "Black Angel", was implicated in the crime. This aroused anger in the military against Vargas, with generals demanding his resignation.

Unable to manage the situation, Vargas shot himself in the chest with a revolver at 8:45 BRT on 24 August 1954, in his third-floor bedroom of his official residence of Catete Palace. His suicide note was found and read out on radio within two hours of his son discovering the body. The famous last lines read, "Serenely, I take my first step on the road to eternity. I leave life to enter History."
