The Spiral Scouts (PC)

This is a weird game, and I don't mean in its oddness. If you look at the game's screenshots, you'll find it pretty innocuous. And it is in fact innocuous. It's primarily a puzzle game with a cute art style. It's got a catchy soundtrack too.

However. The writing is atrociously vulgar. Toilet Humor. Juvenile MTV Jackass stuff---no actually age it a bit down because it's more of the stuff you hear a gradeschooler would say. It's as if they lost all the dialogue in the game on the last minute and decided to hire some 12 year old who made a few abridged anime videos to just fill in the blanks.

The crude tone is really a hit or miss. It just tackles everything and isn't afraid to cross the line: Crack and Ecstasy, Satanic sacrifices, Stalking a Married Woman, Orgies. In one sidequest, you even help a horny receptionist get her rocks off with a massive censored vibrator. And it fascinates me that all this is played straight without any subversion or twist in the end. There is a super secret endgame that will test your puzzling skills, but the reveal is just as crude as the rest of the game.

All in all, you'll either love it or hate it. It's a hard game to recommend but if you can get past the juvenile attempt at humor, its a great game.

It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you.
