Today in games-that-are-probably-a-mistake, developer Nikolaus Games has announced Swimming Poo – a “humourous action game” set in a public swimming centre where the goal is seemingly to ensure everyone has a bad time by filling the various pools with dank turds.
Revealed with a frankly bewildering trailer that I’m almost sure is going to leave with me some kind of trauma, the game promises to evoke the taste (their words, not mine) of 1960s commercial America as you take up the role of Simon, an unsupervised boy with a taste for candy and a serious case of IBS.
You can watch the trailer below. Emphasis on can. You probably shouldn’t, but you can:
“Let yourself be carried away by the incessant pursuit. Play the role of a boy – Simon and show the pool guards who is in charge! Feel the taste of commercial America of the 1960s, blending into a fairy-tale aquapark full of attractions. Demonstrate agility in competition with enemies by farting and polluting pool zones, destroying their filtering pumps. Only this will allow you to recover secret confectionery recipes that will be with you forever. Don’t forget about your best friend Poopie, who is always ready to help you come out alive.”
Apparently, a free demo for Swimming Poo is coming at some point this year. You can wishlist the game on Steam right here if… if you want to.
