What's that sound coming from the basement....?
Glitch Daddy
is the new
fever dream of a game by
Sad Mask Party, the
twisted brains behind
Mango and
The Lotus Holidays. It is a surreal, elusive,
highly immersive and
just slightly distorted tale of mystery, friendship, romance, solitude, trying and failing, overcoming obstacles, and all around,
love.
It is presented as a first person adventure, featuring
atmospheric exploration, puzzles, some
fun action sequences and fights, interactive dialogue, deconstructed psychology,
dreamy psychedelia, a
big variety of off-beat characters, terminally weird vibes and
an equal mixture of horror(ish) and humorous elements. The graphics are PS1-inspired, but with a healthy dose of surrealism and liminality.
The story starts through a dream where you meet
Glitch Daddy, a strange creature informing you about
the world's end coming really, really soon. You go on to wake up, and embark on a wild journey where the truth will be revealed, through a series of
weird, unexpected twists and turns.
Drenched in a
thick vibe of nostalgia,
Glitch Daddy seamlessly jumps from the memories of an idealized childhood, to a complicated adulthood, and the cosmic, deconstructed
dreamscapes of a timeless oblivion.
Also, you get to kill monsters and pet doggos. ;)
A few mild jumpscares. Adult languange and themes.
Often an unsettling, surreal atmosphere and design.
