Evaluation

The Preposterous Awesomeness of Everything is a self-contained satirical point-and-click adventure that launched on February 9, 2016. All post-launch activity was brief and concentrated in early 2016: a Deluxe Edition package was announced on March 1, 2016 (bundling the game with its soundtrack, the original choose-your-own-adventure story, and a paper toy), and a v1.2 patch on April 15, 2016 delivered minor bug fixes and a UI upgrade alongside a free demo/studio tour. That April 2016 patch represents the last substantive developer communication. No DLC is listed on the store, no roadmap or future content has ever been announced, and the store description presents the game as a complete, finite experience (~3-4 hours). The game launched as a finished product and received a small round of post-launch polish before development concluded.

Evidence

v1.2 patch released with minor bug fixes, UI improvements, and integration of a demo/studio tour — the last substantive developer update.

About this game

The Preposterous Awesomeness of Everything follows an apparently primitive society, attempting to work together to build a glue and tape fueled space rocket. Follow the Majority of People, from disordered chaos (the past), through a disgusting and distorted and horrible AND hilarious kind of faux-democracy (the present (SATIRE! Amirite?!?!)), into the unknowable, irrelevant emptiness of outer space (the future).

Along the journey players will encounter a host of colourful characters, including the mysterious Man with the Little Pencil, the superfluous Man in the Wren Suit and the fabulous Helen. Solve a variety of engaging puzzles where you’ll be forced into making a number of difficult moral decisions, with potential disastrous consequences!

Features:

Traditional verb-based interface

A cameo appearance from Felix Kjellberg (PewDiePie)
~15,000 words (3-4 hours?) of intellectually stimulating satirical shenanigans
A joke about white blood cells
Prohibitively experimental electronic music
Irrelevant duck
