Jazzpunk is one of the best "point and click"* adventure games

*yeah, it's first person, but it's basically a point and click adventure, you walk around click on things and they tell jokes. what other genre does it fit into? FPS?? Well, I guess the wedding quake minigame is an FPS , but then you need to count the beat up the car minigame as a fucking fighting game.

Jazzpunk is one of only two games that ever made me laugh so hard I cried. The other being Octodad.

I looked up octodad on steam - what's the difference between dadliest catch and student edition?

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

No idea. I've only played Dadliest Catch.

Edit: just looked at the Steam page, it looks like the Student Edition was the prototype game the studio made as a school project, which eventually inspired Dadliest Catch.
