Price: $6 Description: Collects the nine horror-comedy games in the IGF Nuovo award winning "...of the killer" series (2020-2024). The series follows frazzled new-wave zinester BB as she attempts to document the strange happenings around a city where giallo-style themed serial murder is a way of life. In the course of her adventures she will run into and away from "My First Strangle Victim" dolls, immersive theater, drinky bird toys, pop-up haunted waterparks, maniac policemen, tax-exempt art storage facilities, beach cults, obsessive Mary Worth fans, and even the fabled New Wave itself. Gameplay: These are narrative adventures, like walking sims in a 3rd-person cutout cartoon world. Low on jumpscares, high on mystery and jokes. Collects the hit series!!!! "Hit" may be pushing it!! But these games have been coming out episodically on Gamejolt for about four years and already have a small cult fanbase; the collection has some bonus features for fans and is a good way for new people to check out the completed series. Testimonials! "I played the 9 episodes of Anthology of the Killer by TheCatamites and it's... kind of the best story game since Disco Elysium?" - Molleindustria (Unmanned, Green New Deal Simulator) "Dense with ideas, filled with little details and consistently funny" - Terry Cavanagh (Dicey Dungeons, VVVVVV) "I mean it when I say that this is one of the best game series I've ever played." - Heather Flowers, (Extreme Meatpunks Forever, SNAKE FARM) "Endlessly surprising and interesting" - Melos Han-Tani (Anodyne 2, Sephonie) Reference points: "Courage the Cowardly Dog meets the Angel of History" "Roberto Bolano adapted by way of Parappa The Rapper" "Little Lulu's whole town is infected with spirals" |
