You're playing as a specialty exterminator and each time you move so to the monsters.

Hey, I played a little of that game waaaay back in the day after a family friend recommended it to me. I wish I'd played more of it than I did, as I typically enjoyed that style of puzzle game, but for some reason, kid me was frightened of the protagonist's animated portrait in the corner.
Edit: Just started listening to the ost, and whoa. I did not expect the music to be this good.

One of my favorite games of all time is Obsidian, a first-person point-and-click adventure game from 1997. It was critically acclaimed but flopped due to poor marketing and timing. To this day, almost nobody I've talked to has heard of it.
It is definitely on the more surreal side of adventure games, and feels like a sort of sci-fi Alice in Wonderland.
This particular section has a decent sampling of the game's brand of weirdness:

We were just limited to the demo growing up as it came on a disc with a bunch of other computer games. Being that we were mostly limited to secondhand games, I never did get to play past the first 50 rooms. But yeah, the soundtrack was really good for the time it came out. To the extent of my knowledge, nobody's submitted any arrangements of the D.R.O.D. OST to OverClocked ReMix yet.

Okay, that felt like watching one of Joel G's ENA videos.
