BIZARRO

I like how absurd the game can get.

喜欢无厘头、冷幽默类型的一定要玩一下这个！游戏里的人物对话还有初始页面播放的电视节目都幽默死了，小游戏的玩法也是标新立异不落俗套，剧情看下来居然也挺精彩的，而且这种复古互联网的美术和音乐风格本身也很吸引人。可惜暂时没有中文翻译，可能会错过一些梗:(但是走过路过不要错过，真的挺好玩的！

wonderfully charming, similar to minigame collections but very much its own thing, unlike anything i've ever played (complimentary)

Super funny

Continuing my palette cleanser selection of games with something that is as stupid as Frog's Adventure was cute. SCPT is a collection of minigames with the common thread of them all having art assets entirely comprised of stock images, and the games themselves controlling really stupidly. I feel like these two ideas aesthetically go really nicely hand in hand, with the collage of random images that you feel like you've seen before giving off the vibe of something really ramshackle and scrappy, built and held together with strips of tape. None of these are especially complex in any regard, usually being about a single interaction and simply trying to get that one thing to work properly for you, figuring out the best way to make it all work in your favour. The overall simplicity and artstyle of this makes it feel like a collection of loading screen games to random flash projects, which I'm very charmed by, since it captures such a specific feeling rarely felt to such a consistent frequency outside this game. Big fan of the way that this also has a story equally as stupid as the gameplay itself, loosely tying together a bunch of ridiculous, disparate threads and providing a tiny bit of context to the total madness in a way that surprised me, given that far more cohesive minigame collections have done less in this regard. Not all of these are winners of course, with some of them being so finicky and obtuse to control that it falls into painful territory, or ones that focus on interactions that are frankly just not very interesting to interface with, but it's definitely more good than bad here. Shoutouts in particular to the bowling minigame for the way it manages to combine the more finicky control schemes with one of the most fun interactions that can be found here, going above and beyond in such a way that I felt compelled to keep going at it even after succeeding at achieving the gold medal in it. Overall this ends up making for a very pleasant afternoon, would recommend to those who enjoy the act of controlling something in a game feeling like driving a forklift. 7/10

More-or-less exactly what it looks like. The minigames all feel like the second game you make in a high school programming classs, in the best way. Every minigame has a clear unique concept to it and the bonus objectives feel well selected to give everything a bit more depth. As someone who doesn't really like horror, the game's title ("SCP TV") had me a little concerned there'd be a surprise pivot into horror here, but there really isn't. The lighthearted goofy tone is maintained throughout the entire game. Also, try idling on the menu screen to watch short clips from SCPTV!
