Annoy This Guy

I'm not sure why people are hating on this game. It's short and sweet, and yes, it doesn't have much depth, but that's an intentional feature. This game is a nice break from extremely lore heavy games (I still love those as well). People are expecting an elaborate backstory, when that's not what the game is about. It's just a short story about annoying a guy who has dementia. I hope this review will get this game to the Outstandingly positive it deserves.

He invited me in his house then came close to my ears and whispered..... you're gay!

Annoy This Guy is a deliberately small and unusual interactive fiction game that takes an incredibly ordinary situation and turns it into an absurd comedy. Instead of saving a kingdom, surviving monsters, or solving an elaborate mystery, your objective is exactly what the title suggests: repeatedly bother a man who would much rather be left alone. Released in 2024, the game was developed and published by Samuel Leigh, and its straightforward concept makes it feel closer to an interactive comedy sketch than a conventional adventure game. The basic routine is wonderfully ridiculous. You approach the man's door, knock until he answers, start a conversation, and select dialogue choices intended to waste his time or test his patience. Eventually he becomes irritated enough to slam the door, after which you return and do it again. The process repeats roughly six or seven times, making repetition an intentional part of both the gameplay and the joke. There is something amusing about knowing that the sensible thing would be to leave this poor person alone while the game encourages you to do precisely the opposite. What prevents the concept from becoming completely one-note is the surpris…

This guy is not going to tell you the whole deal, but that's fine really
