March 2025

This is why terminally online people must be sectioned You ever just play a game that feels like it was dragged out of a corner of your psyche? Well, if you're anything like me, Critters for Sale might feel like that to you too. Critters for Sale is a collection of short stories in the style of point-and-click adventures. Each story has you taking on the role of a new character in a different location at a different point in time. While the stories initially feel heavily disconnected, there is an over-arching saga being told and the stories feel cohesive. Visually, Critters for Sale is incredibly striking. Its monochromatic aesthetic is used effectively to produce some absolute entrancing and shocking visuals that lean heavily into surrealism and psychedelia. A lot of imagery pops with trippy effects and a smart use of dithering. Music, while nothing incredible, is snazzy and adds a nice dream-like atmosphere to a lot of the scenes. Writing is also very entertaining at times, you encounter these absolutely bizarre moments with talking animals, weird people in fetish outfits, and otherworldly entities. It's a tale that clearly draws on various cultures while also remixing them into a unique work. While I enjoyed my time with Critters for Sale and think that there are some strong elements, I do also think that there are some significant issues. First, interactivity is quite minimal. You make a couple decisions (some of which don't matter) and that's about it for the majority of the runtime. There are a few moments where the game attempts to engage. While not always a winner, I think it succeeds mostly in the Dragon story with the whole story acting essentially as an escape room puzzle. I also really liked the few moments where the game called upon the player to use information from across the other stories to solve a puzzle. It helped create a sense of cohesion. However, these puzzles were few and far between and most of the game was just clicking on scenery. Having to restart the entire short story after seeing each ending also became tedious as I had to speed through all the content that stayed the same each time. Additionally, the game doesn't save your spot in the stories, so if you have to quit (or go to another short story for info), you're starting from the beginning each time. Finally, and most notoriously, the game struggles to find its identity. There are moments where this game really shines and feels like it's building a fascinating, grand narrative. But there are other moments where the game feels like it's just a vehicle for the creator to show off their favourite pop culture stuff. When it starts referencing real-world pop culture, it feels so shallow and silly and I feel like I'm playing something birthed out of the depths of 4chan. While laying the groundwork for a fascinating narrative and brandishing a compelling art style, Critters for Sale too often slides into being a bunch of pop culture references to our world, thus detracting from the elements that make it unique. It also doesn't help that some valuable quality-of-life features are missing, resulting in a game that falls into tedium at points. I'd score it 6/10.

I love it when I possess the body of my ex-friend who just killed me, and get godly powers from a spirit to become the lead singer of Death Grips.

Jan. 2025

Most realistic surreal sh*t I ever played. It made me feel like I was switching between my personalities in parallel universes. + MC Ride (Death Grips) part was sick.

Aug. 2024

With its beautiful black and white retro artstyle, perfectly-fitting OST and some of the weirdest stories you'll read, this game creates a unique surrealist experience, that I absolutely recommend. Don't expect to come out of this satisfied with a "true ending" or even a "good" one: simply enjoy the adventure, as frustrating as it can feel sometimes. A true masterpiece, this game was worth every penny, absolute recommend, 10/10 PS: STAY NOIDED!!!

Aug. 2024

This game has a beautiful ditherpunk art style, with excellent music and sound design. honestly sad how underrated it is. There is also an amazing appearance of the twin towers. highly recommended.
