Surreal video game from hell

In the dream, I was playing a game made up of a series of "minigames." This dream is hella long because I just got home from college today and sleeping in a new place makes me remember my dreams. The first minigame dropped me in a crowded, dim, hazy bar that looked out of the 1930s. There were two old men standing by the piano, reciting the script what I think was supposed to be Waiting for Godot. As I tried to leave the bar and go up the stairs, one of the old men followed me by teleporting just outside my field of view, resulting in several jump scares as I looked behind me to find him there. I ascended some stairs to exit the bar and wound up in an interrogation mingame. I had to interrogate an old woman in what seemed to be a side room of the bar. I had to find out that she killed her husband by throwing darts at several sheep, hitting their butts in order to incite the sheep to maul the man. I did this by talking into a headset. There were lots of minigames after that. Many of them had jump scares and I would scream loudly every time. I will write here the minigames I remember most clearly. One had a crying baby in a nursery. I had to find a way to make it stop crying but I couldn't. One game involved a severed head sitting on top of some stairs. Another started with a young man floating in the ocean, with the colors of some LGBT flags appearing behind him. He said that he drowned himself because he thought his family wouldn't accept him and he hoped that things would be better for him in the afterlife. There was also a recently deceased news anchor that he seemed to have a crush on and wanted to meet in Heaven. The game then cut to an ocean shore. We were under a very dark, stormy sky and it seemed we had both washed up on this shore. I was trying to talk to him when I noticed a bunch of scary half-decayed looking demonic things further along the shore. They began to rouse themselves and assumed a runner's starting position. The man and I seemed to think it was a race and we had to start running, NOW. We ran up the beach into a ghost town that looked like it had been converted into a fairgrounds, but it was all ruined now. The demons started jumping into numbered portals while the young man ran to portal number 6. He said "I know that two people died here but I don't think I should go in." I screamed at him to jump in now. When he did, he came out as a gaunt looking ghost and said he was being tortured every moment. I think I concluded that I had just forced him to return to a real world and become a ghost when really he should have stayed in the afterlife. Another minigame involved helping a guy pick which of 3 girls he wanted to date. I ended up being rash and I made him pick a girl with pinkk ponytails who turned out to be a crazy stalker. Finally the game was over and brought me to the credits. The credits went over each minigame and showed what percent you achieved in it, and provided hints on how you could go back and beat each one. The credits also cycled through the characters from each game. When it got to the dating minigame, the credits andn music came to a dead stop as the pink ponytail girl walked slowly towards the screen like she was going to jump out and kill me. I was freaking the hell out, totally full of dread and just wanted to be done with this horrible game, but knew that I needed to 100% each minigame.
