What's that sound coming from the basement....?
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. ;)

Dieses Spiel macht betroffen. Es ist Gewaltbild sowie atemberaubend. Besonders positiv überrascht haben mich die Dialoge sowie der Soundtrack - phänomenal. Müsst ihr wissen.
I love kooky games and this is no exception. Well done Sad Mask Party, first Mango, now Strawberry! What a wild ride, absolutely loved it!
Very nice walking talking simulator with surreal world. Very chill. Thumbs up if u like those weird games.
A fantastic trippy ride!
A surreal, tripped out journey. I've enjoyed Mango, The Lotus Holidays, and now this one. Hope this dev continues to make great games because I will buy every one.
A modern fairy tale of idealised parenthood. The creator attempts to create an avatar of his ideal father which will motivate him to explore life's vivid paths. Childhood vibrant colours and shapes along with some distorted bitterness of reality allow us to explore the creator's journey to forgiveness in a fun way. The character uses his childish imagination as a tool to explore the mysteries of the world as the end approaches. A must play for everyone. Immersive, subversive, perversive. Enjoy it!
I love art , game AND art gaaaaaames! 啊—————————————玩起来真的太爽了，从头顺到尾，一点卡关没有
Sad Mask Party with another "LSD Simulator" walkabout. Still dreamy, still hallucinogenic, it's an experience.
I got the main ending and missing 7 achivements. The graphics here are extremely colorful and psychedelic with very liminal levels and fun gameplay and characters with a very amazing and silly story. Highly reccomended and very good to smoke weed to.
I downloaded this as a joke to play on stream and now I'm addicted and I need to know more, need to explore more, need to experience more of this fever dream. Also I'm scared of mommy.
