this game probably has something to say but if it does i must have experienced a lobotomy
Slightly torn on this. Aesthetically? One of the best things ive ever played. A+ in every regard. Some of the greatest funny lookin guys in vidja history in particular. Perfect in every way. Constantly surprised with how much cool shit it does.
Story wise? I dunno. I think it's pretty blatant that there's no real grand overarching theme or much of a consistent narrative, just a collection of fun little vignettes, and I think I'm okay with that. I would've liked if there was more of a method to it's madness, but just being along for the ride is enough when it's this constantly captivating. Nary a dull moment. Reminded me a lot of The Silver Case as a whole, with it's often loose story being told thru a series of questionably connected chapters (tho TSC does it a lot better in a macro sense), the very strong and striking sense of visual storytelling, and how chapter 2 is easily the worst part.
Speaking of chapter 2 the death grips stuff is bad and feels bizarrely out of step with the rest of the game. I wouldve not had a problem with it if it was just stefan being a character in narrative for no real reason like MJ is, but it double / triples down on it and its very, for lack of a better word, cringe. i wouldve tolerated it if this was made in like 2015 or something but near current year is too late to be talking about being noided n shit. easy lowpoint of the game

Please Michael don't kill me, she is not my lover.
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one.

more of an artistic visual piece than a game but i had fun trying to decipher different endings. not much to go on story wise honestly. but i will be following this dev for their future projects!
un dia me desperté y vi un wassap del mismisimo michael jackson no me lo pude creer
Really cool.
Easy to see this as a young guys homage to the Internet culture he grew up with, and the complicated feelings those permenately embed in one's psyche. We get that made manifest in the wacked out visuals, distortions of photography made to move via digital effects. The writing is flavor text, but reveals anxiety about climate change, the 1% ruining the world for their own short term gain, and the comedy all this chaos generates.
This almost works as a music video for a lot of great music too. All those times you picture a lil video to a song you love, this guy made that real. One should put live death grips concert footage in their game.
Also why does the second top review here say: "but there's a lot of depth and value here if you're willing to look beyond the dithered pixel art and electronic music surface"? I have many quibbles with this, but what does it even mean? Isn't that a lot of the game, it is extremely deliberate and gives most of the game it's affect?? Why would you need to look beyond it, and why are visuals and music a "surface" to games? What happens when we gaze at that very surface?
More proof that people should like my far superior reviews.

es la wea mas autista y ezquisofrenica que e jugado. Y por eso me encanta !
As a big Death Grips fan i laughed my ass off everytime that MC Ride appeared, i never expected seeing him or Michael Jackson, but as a chronically online weirdo i ended loving everything on this game, it was hella fun, it also defines my mental state rn.
There was no actual gambling >:(
One of the best games, artistically speaking, that I've ever unearthed. Critters for Sale is a surreal experience, if not a drug-induced phenomenon, that captivates any videogame enthusiast. Although it can be a little bit confusing at times, the way its charismatic characters and extravagant scenarios are presented, makes you want everything it has to offer. Very delighted to know this is the first of a dreamlike series.
es mi agujero esta hecho pa mi
I'll be completely honest in saying that I really enjoyed this but I also didn't really understand it in the slightest and by the end of it I was getting tired of doing all the puzzles and repeating the same events over and over again just to see slightly different endings sometimes. However I got it for $5 and I will say if it looks interesting to you at all, it's worth the 5 as a visual/audio art piece. But in all honesty it's just a "alright" adventure game.
i've seen footage, i stay noided
hell yeah
boring as fuck
