GLITCH DADDY

Ha ha funny game becomes serious about grief and drug addiction and makes you cry in a good way

Having played similar games, I came to play this one with certain expectations... and they were certainly fulfilled . It's a game that took me back to basics, in a way of old school games with great fundamentals that satisfy the deep core of video games, which is having actual fun. I really loved the beautiful and great aesthetics, the intriguing soundtrack and the well-worked scenario. The puzzles keep the plot going greatly in a very well balanced way. The only problem is that for me, it could go further for more gameplay hours.

Playing "Glitch Daddy" feels like diving headfirst into a Lynchian fever dream and I mean that in the best possible way. From the moment the game begins, it wraps you in surrealistic imagery that feels equal parts haunting and mesmerizing. The gameplay is mostly linear, although some of the levels offer a chance for a little exploration and the puzzles are pretty intuitive. What surprised me the most though weren’t the visuals as I would imagine, which are trippy and unique but the atmospheric and amazing soundtrack which not only complemented but even elevated the experience. The dreamy narrative dances between absurdity and poignancy, exploring themes of forgiveness and guilt, fear of failure and the never-ending compulsion to correct our mistakes, leaving us- the player balancing on the edge of understanding, just as the characters within the game seem to be. It’s strange, unsettling, surprising funny, and, at times, deeply moving, a rare example of a game that trusts its audience to lean into the ambiguity and find meaning in the chaos. I can’t wait to see what this developer has in store next, because if "Glitch Daddy" is any indication, their imagination knows no bounds.

its culty and cvnty at the same time

I've only played the intro and one level so far and I can already tell you, if you love trippy games that you can smoke a blunt and get weirded out too, this is for you! It's a walking sim sorta game with slight "puzzles" which are more just very easy tasks you have to complete in order to advance to the next level, BUT it is also a "Choices Matter" type game as well...as you will be presented with options to do the 'right' thing or not and whatever you choose will have a different effect on how the level plays out. The visuals are insane! The colors are bright and vibrant, the glitches and running pixels are crazy trippy and there are even some kinda freaky parts in this game as well. When it first started, there was actually a moment where I questioned if it was a horror game but once you get through the intro, you can tell it's more of just a very trippy and surreal experience, whether it freaks you out or makes you laugh. The character design is great...they look like those Christmas Nutcracker things. Some characters are cool looking, some are plain looking, some are trippy looking, some are funny looking but it never gets boring finding and meeting new characters and it keeps me wanting to play more JUST to see how crazier the character and level designs get. Overall, so far it's been a fun, funny, weird, trippy and surreal experience and I literally just started the game. May give a 2nd review once finished but I DO recommend...especially for the price!

Glitch Daddy is not for those who care about gameplay, it's for people who agree with the statement that games can be art. And that's exactly what it is. It really feels like the game portion was created solely to justify the existence of the intensely creative set pieces. They're wild, colorful, surreal and the main thing that makes the experience enjoyable.
