My god gamers are autistic

Remember back when games were about fighting aliens, saving the princess, multiplayer splitscreen deathmatches, killing zombies, and just having a little fun?


....Those were good days.

You guys.

I managed to stumble across the link to the developers webpage.

This website is so autistic I decided to put it behind a spoiler. Click at your own risk.

I've only looked at screenshots, but is this like a terrible autistic version of Eternal Darkness? Like instead of a sanity meter, we have an autism meter.

Finally a game where I can replace it's text with JULLAAYYYY in comic sans and still be on topic.

@Maple, you beautiful bastard, you finally did it.

Did you guys know Max's Autistic Journey is actually a prequel to this game?

Max smiling blankly in his 'protective earmuffs' is one of the funniest images I've seen in a long time.

I'm sorry (also I'm late as fuck) but why would you make a game about a neurological disorder?

Maybe they have an autistic son and feel the need to share the life of their special snowflake? (Yep I looked it up and they do)

That's why blogs exist.

Little wonder where the kid gets his autism from.

Probably for the same reason people thought games about Diabetes and Asthma would do well:

I jest. These weren't made for market. They were made to help really little kids who were just diagnosed and only available via a mail service.

 

[HOMO INSPECTUS]

They were made to help

lol

In fact, this is an entertaining let's play.

I've seen this done before with stuff like Mangia (which is where you play through a day or two in the life of the game's creator when she is diagnosed with a chronic illness).

Why are there blue puzzle pieces in the background at all times?

That's fucking terrible design.

Also this game is 70% stock RPGMaker VX Ace Assets.

I'm curious if this is a nod to the ribbon for autism where it's composed of multi-colored puzzle pieces as a metaphor for how "the pieces don't always fit". Which represents the difficulty of fitting in for autistic people.
