Very entertaining Unity experiment with good voice-acting and a sense of humour I was NOT expecting. A nice change from the somewhat pretentious games that go for a similar thing I've been seeing recently.

Played on stream and was completely surprised. I've never played a game like this before (not because there's few of them but because I'm a bit sheltered) so this was a really good introduction for me (especially since I ended up playing Tiny Thief after it, which was very similar). IT'S DEFINITELY CHALLENGING. I'm not so good at puzzle games, though, so maybe it's just me. Thanks for the experience and for being gentle on introducing me to turn-based roguelikes.
I'm not a fan of visual novels -- I find them fanciful, predictable, and very often poorly written -- but this one's outright anarchic approach makes it more of what i can only describe as an ANTI visual novel. Nothing is idyllic or straightforward, and nobody knows what they want or how to get it. It has a message that speaks directly against the established norm for the medium and it delivers it well. Not to mention the art is grotesque, the humour is on point, the language is relatable, and the soundtrack is non-invasive and sometimes chilling. And, thankfully, unlike a lot of trans-oriented media, I don't find this to be preachy or heavy-handed. I think it communicates the psychological aspects of dysphoria with a very welcome dash of subtlety.
Also, it makes an AWESOME video thumbnail.
I'm really keen to check out the full thing. The story is too fascinating to end on a cliffhanger d:
(I wish I could speak like this out loud but while playing I could only manage a few awkward grunts...)
Played it as part of my weird games showcases and had a lot of fun. It's a lot like Crap No-one Loves Me except simpler to learn (though almost as difficult to master) and...well, burgery. I'm going to have to start coming up with a name to describe this genre of fast-food themed games, I'm finding a lot of them recently.
Considering it was made in a week, I'm impressed.
I played this as part of my weird games videos. I went in blind, didn't know the real name, and didn't get the intro dialogue, but regardless I loved it. Took me a few attempts to learn how it worked and I have to say I'm definitely interested in your future content. I'm just sorry I couldn't finish it before I had to move on!
I posted this in another topic but I'm not receiving many replies on other sites so I want to make it more visible. I think this is the right place to post it.
I'm in love with Vinesauce's Getting Weird With It to the point where it inspired me to make Youtube videos of my own. I started doing gameplay because people wanted it, but recently (since I hit 1k subs) I started adding videos I really wanted to do from the start -- the weird, surreal and trashy. I love being confused, bemused or in stitches and sharing it with others.
Thanks to Itch, Gamejolt, Increpare and Glorious Trainwrecks I've managed to scrape together about 500 games (whether they're all playable or not is yet to be determined) and I check back every day for new releases. So far games like #21: The World, Leechbowl and NOCLIP have been particular standouts.
I'm on the hunt for more material so please if you have anything or know of anything even slightly weird/surreal/trashy/otherwise appropriate to the Getting Weird With It vibe, please post here and/or email me at playingbadlyyt@gmail.com and I'll definitely download it for inclusion. I'm also willing to leave honest feedback and ratings in return.
Thank you,
Finn.
I've begun a quest to play more weird/bizarre/surreal/trashy games than Vinesauce has and thanks to Gamejolt,Itch.io, Increpare and GloriousTrainwrecks I've managed to amass 500 games so far (whether they're all high enough quality for videos is yet to be determined).
So far games like #21: The World, Leechbowl and NOCLIP have been particular standouts. I'm always on the hunt for more material so please if you have anything even slightly weird email me at playingbadlyyt@gmail.com and I'll definitely download it for inclusion.
