About NotTheNameWeWanted

✦ AI summary

Drive your car down Britain's M4 motorway in this deliberately janky Snake-inspired satire that riffs on open-world crime games with hilariously UK-specific absurdity. All profits go to youth charity Peer Productions, making this cheap, addictive parody your chance to laugh while giving back.

Not The Name We Wanted is a parody.

It is definitely, positively and legally, NOT that carjacking game that seemed to do so well.

This top-selling short tour of the glories of the UK’s M4 corridor is easy to play, hard to master, addictive, very funny, and stupidly cheap.

100% of the profits from this game go to young people’s charity Peer Productions. Without Peer Productions the NotGames team would never have met. By buying this game you can help us pay something back.

NotGames: Sticking it to the virtual man since about ten minutes ago.

FAQ:
Q: Is it meant to look that bad?
A: Yes.

Q: Really?
A: Yes. Really. It's satire. Like South Park.

Q: Is it meant to be just Snake?
A: Again, yes. That's kinda the point of the satire, see?

Q: So why should I buy it exactly?
A: We guarantee it'll be the funniest game of Snake you've ever played. Especially if you know anything about the UK. Or an infamous driving game. Or have, you know, a sense of humour.

Game is so bad that even achievements don't work. Ultimately this game is "Snake" game, but with it's own set of rules and modifications how you can play and win the level, unfortunately these features or mechanics are really annoying. Side note: Their initial title was NotGTAV so the Rockstar did not like it and threatened to sue them so they changed to this current NotTheNameWeWanted. Since Oct 17th, 2022 they pulled off this game of steam, I guess so they don't have to fix problems anymore. Way to screw people over.
