The Room

Accessible and relaxed

You work through a series of point-and-click puzzles centered on a mysterious box, all wrapped in an absurd tribute to the cult film The Room. Its charm comes from deliberately odd humor and quirky 16-bit style presentation.

Devolver Bootleg

Lots of humour

A free collection of eight short parodies of Devolver Digital games, poking fun at Hotline Miami, Enter the Gungeon and more. You get quick, absurd mini-games packed with in-jokes and silliness.

McPixel 3

Lots of humour

McPixel 3 is an absurd comedy puzzler where you stop disasters in short scenes by trying the most ridiculous actions possible. Experimenting and laughing at the bizarre outcomes is the core appeal.

Alex Jones: NWO Wars

Pixel art

You play as Alex Jones and fight through levels built around political satire in a retro-flavoured arcade shooter. Its appeal lies in the irreverent humor and the blend of nostalgic gameplay with topical mockery.

Fingered

Lots of humour

An absurd comedy detective sim where you deduce the culprit from conflicting witness descriptions and send them to the chair. Its appeal is the twisted humor and the subjective viewpoints of the witnesses.

77p egg: Eggwife

Lots of humour

A deliberately dumb and crass first-person shooter where an egg hunts for a new wife while fighting sentient sewage and a milk-obsessed cult. Its humor draws on Postal 2, Duke Nukem 3D and Goat Simulator.
