Inspired by @Karlok's comment in the Moon Logic thread about Secret Files: Tunguska, those games that are kind of terrible and stupid but for whatever reason, you can't stop playing them.
I'll go ahead and say Black Mirror 2 and 3. I didn't particularly like either and they felt kind of terribly designed with a confusing story, but for whatever reason I kind of enjoyed them for being terrible.

The most terrible game I ever played and loved was called, if I remember, The Fifth Element (unrelated to the movie). It was an indie eastern European adventure/RPG hybrid that really had nothing to recommend it besides accidental comedy. But I do not consider it a guilty pleasure because there is no guilt. I am for the most part utterly shameless about the stupid sh*t I play, or read… or do.

Wow yeah that was an obscure game! I never would have believed anyone else was familiar with it. I enjoyed it too for some weird reason I cannot grasp. I don't remember anything anymore apart from some weird turn based battles.

So not only you but a group of players, great fun. Another totally ridiculous game i kind of liked is "bizarre Earthquake", it's subpar in all levels, especially the writing. In no way I am suggesting this, but I think it's the definition of "so bad is good"

Oh, I actually played that. I remember it was another one of those East European games that's both very buggy and badly translated.

Yeah I think it's Turkish, I am surprised you played it. This thread is full of masochistic players!

I can't even really complain - it was like $0.89 on Steam, which is why I bought it in the first place. From memory I kind of went on a cheap point-and-click binge and it just came ended up in the basket.
