I'm playing through a game right now and I'm seeing って used at the end of
sentences a lot. I know って can be a shorthand version of the と particle, but
it doesn't make sense as nobody is being quoted or nothing is is being
declared as in "X is called this"

For example a character says

> うわっ！ ホントにおかしいって！
>
> My translation: Uwaa! This is really strange!

After a friend screams for suddenly being really hungry

The use of the って doesn't make sense here to me, so what is really intended or
why is this ending used?

grammar particle-と particle-って
Use of って when quotation doesn't make sense
This type of って is mainly used to repeat one's opinion, like "I'm saying ～" or
"I told you, ～". So it's still quotative in a sense; the speaker is quoting
their own previous statement. For example, depending on the context, 「寝ろって。」
can mean either "[Someone] told you to sleep" (quote from a third speaker) or
"I told you, go to bed!"

But って is also often used when you say something for the first time, and in
such cases it's just like "come on", "you know", or "I tell you", which are
used to strongly seek agreement.

> 気にするな **って** 、大丈夫だ **って**!  
>  Never mind, it'll be okay!

> なあ、この屋敷はヤバい **って** …。  
>  Hey, this mansion is crazy, I tell you.
