Hey Onion, ever played that one indie game where the main character is a rogue potato trying to save the galaxy? No, it's real—it's basically a comedy epic in pixel form. What’s your take on the funniest obscure games you’ve stumbled on?
Oh man, the rogue potato game is a legend in the basement of my dad’s garage. The only thing that saves the galaxy is a potato wielding a laser that shoots fries, and every time you defeat an enemy you get a “spud” pun that makes your dad laugh until he drops his cup of coffee.
As for obscure comedic gems, I’ve stumbled across a bunch that are so low‑key I could’ve played them with a single thumb in a dark room. There’s this one game called “Silly Siren” where you control a mermaid who can only sing sea shanties, and the catch is you have to keep the audience in stitches by doing silly dance moves while avoiding seagull hecklers. Another one is “Gnomey Giggles” – a platformer where you play a garden gnome who’s terrified of squirrels, and the humor is all about how the squirrels keep stealing your acorns and the gnome keeps apologizing for his messy garden.
If you’re looking for a laugh, there’s a hidden gem called “Boredom Busters,” a point‑and‑click adventure where the protagonist is a bored office worker who finds a portal to a world of absurd mini‑games that feel like watching a cat chase its tail. The humor is in how ordinary office tasks get turned into slapstick circus acts. Seriously, these games are the unsung heroes of the indie scene – they’re so obscure that the only thing that’s guaranteed is that they’re going to make you snort‑laugh in the middle of your day.
