A friend of mine foisted this on me as a joke years ago. He just passed away a week ago so in his honor I committed to the bit and played Dead Bits. This game is just the right kind of awful, a low effort indie game from the early 2010s when it was a bit more difficult for any old game to just show up on Steam. How did this mess manage to get on there? God knows - I mean, we do know how, it was Steam Greenlight, but how it managed to get the votes for that is beyond me. It's a time capsule to the worst excesses of 2013 - dubstep, zombies, and forced slowdown to make things look "cool". Fortunately it's only about an hour long, so if you're ever cursed with sudden ownership of Dead Bits at least the joke of playing through it won't be TOO torturous. Can't say I recommend it outside of the highly specific situation of honoring a friend's memory by playing an awful game they forced upon you, though!
