Playmoth Games Releases One-Button Horror Comedy On Steam At 135 Yen
A 135 yen, one-button game built to be handed to someone else treats the prank as the product, and the store page's refusal to explain itself is part of the pitch.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Playmoth Games has released The World's Shortest Horror Game on PC via Steam for 135 yen. The short horror comedy is played with a single button and runs only a few minutes. The store page withholds the contents, disclosing only analog-horror staging, timed sound, an unpleasant surprise, and end credits. Playmoth describes playstyles such as finishing it quickly, passing it to a friend, or streaming it for reactions.
The store page keeps the details back on purpose. What it does say is that the game runs on analog-horror staging, sound timed to land badly, one exceptionally unpleasant surprise, and end credits that blow the whole thing out of proportion.
Playmoth Games frames the release around how players move it along rather than how long they sit with it: finish it in a few minutes, pass it to a friend, stream it for reactions, or send it as a small prank dressed up as a gift. The store page even suggests the wording. Say you found a really short game, and do not explain further.
An optional community credits feature lets a player leave one public name after finishing, or leave nothing; submitted names appear to other players once an administrator confirms them. The interface supports 31 languages.
