The Comedy of an Eternal Life

ยป Point-and-Click | Surreal | Comedy

So what exactly is The Comedy of an Eternal Life? At heart, it's a classic point and click experience straight out of the 1990s. You're a low-paid life extension salesperson working at a retail outlet of the mysterious company Life Freak. Life Freak's patented anti-aging nanotech is extending people's lives beyond what was ever thought possible.

Review

Hey, it's Sasha this time. ๐Ÿ‘‹

Holy, this is a weird game. It's great though.

It immediately gave me Monkey Island vibes both from it's form as a point and click game but also managed to hit the mark on the witty humour.

You play a new sales employee named Luke trying to sell (probably faulty) life extending therapies. Sounds possibly boring and immoral but you can't risk being fired. Your girlfriend won't have it.

There's a constant tone of absurdity that even the main character is blatantly aware of but refuses to engage with at the risk of their own sanity and employment.

Robots, angels, mega-corps, spacetime anomalies, and an overly positive sounding boss; Can you make it through the day without losing your job?

Final Thoughts

Again, I can't stress enough how weird this game is. It's hard to explain you'll just have to play it for yourself.

The game was created using Adventure Game Studio. You can find a downloadable EXE (~135 MB) on itch.

It's a surreal experience that you can play within about an hour.

Coming Up...
