MUC Games' Project: Ojisan, an Old Man Stacking Game, Launches on Steam
The game stands out for its absurd premise and its origins as a recuperation project from the developer of the well-regarded Slot & Dungeons.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Developer MUC Games released the physics puzzle game Project: Ojisan on Steam on July 7. Players stack old men in various poses on a rooftop, aiming to reach a target height. The game costs 184 yen during a launch sale. It was created by the developer of Slot & Dungeons during a period of mental recovery.
Project: Ojisan features old men with special traits-robot old men that fall heavily, chameleon old men that turn transparent, handshake old men that stick to others, zombie old men that go limp, bomb old men that explode, and angel old men that carry away those they touch. Developer Otomu, who previously made the deck-building slot roguelite Slot & Dungeons, said he paused work on the follow-up Union Survivors and cut off social media to recuperate, then built Project: Ojisan for mental recovery. The game is now available on Steam at a discounted price of 184 yen until July 21.
