Ha! Just finished Thank Goodness You’re Here and it was the silliest, raunchiest, Northern Englishest?? thing I’ve played in a while. It was a bit of a fever dream. Like an Adult Swim cartoon with a joke a minute that you’re sort of “playing.” There’s not much in the way of controls and yet it was still incredibly satisfying how you unexpectedly interact with this bizarre world. Everyone in this town is off their rocker yet also loveable? I don’t even know how to describe it it was so unique. I guess just play it if this at all sounds intriguing. Short, but a completely wonderful way to spend a few hours.

    I wouldn’t say it’s suitable for kids - there’s a lot of innuendo and crude visual gags. Mid/late teens probably fine, but it’ll depend on your tolerance.

        Yeah? Admittedly I’m calibrated to the 80s version of what “PG-13” meant. What was the most risque bit? Mine is pretty comfortable with non sexual nudity and rude humour, but anything sexually explicit he’s probably not ready.

          There’s a couple of raunchy jokes. One implies a fish is a man’s penis, and he orgasms when you slap the fish repeatedly. There’s the cow you milk with a motion that imitates male masturbation. Also a couple of body horror stuff that look like an anus you enter into a fleshy intestine like cavern. Lot’s of sexual innuendo in dialogue jokes. Definitely not a kid’s game. Maybe play it first, it is a short game, and gauge if it is proper for your kid before playing it with them. Since the game is linear and most interactions are not optional. It’s more like teen immature humor.

            I might wait a year, based on what I’m hearing. He’s already got a weird sense of humour compared to kids his age, I should probably cool it.

            Very good explanation. My kid didn’t pick up any of that luckily. But there are defiantly some obscene scenes.
