A ravenous pet crosses your path. Do you:
1. Make it a home-cooked dinner [+5 Hero Points]
2. Make it right into a home-cooked dinner [+5 Jerk Points]
It’s a conundrum we’ve all confronted earlier than. Harm Other – from Something Awful gaming author turned foolish game-maker Dennis Farrell – takes the trope to its most (il)logical extremes. Right now it simply exists as a cute little playable proof-of-concept, however a commercial version has been fully crowdfunded, so give it a glance, if you need a fast chuckle to finish the day on.
The proof-of-concept demo is admittedly somewhat on the light-weight facet (amounting to possibly 5% of the ultimate word-count or much less), but it surely already accommodates some intelligent silliness and some good laughs. The full sport guarantees considerably extra branching regardless of the restrictions of a two-button interface as nicely.
Sometimes, it’s good to have a sport fully devoted to telling a single joke very nicely, or not less than so exhaustively that you simply can not ever think about listening to one other permutation of it so long as you reside. Plus, as RPS’s resident Doom guru, I can’t assist however smirk on the chapter titles:
Chapter I: KNEE DEEP IN THE READ
Chapter II: THY TEXT CONSUMED
Chapter III: WORD ME PLENTY
Chapter IV: BOOKMARKED FOR DEATH
Chapter V: ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST JACKET
Considering that Dennis has been writing foolish issues about video games for a really very long time now, it appears protected to imagine that he’ll haven’t any drawback writing sufficient foolish phrases to fill a sport with. He reckons that by December of this yr, each ethical quandary within the historical past of the medium may have been boiled all the way down to a binary determination, free so that you can make at your leisure.
Throwing $5 at the Kickstarter will get you a replica of Harm Other when it’s completed, and $1,401 provides you with very slight bragging rights over anybody paying $1,400, plus a replica of the sport.
