About the Story

Dumbass/smartass is a short pixel-art point & click adventure made for the $108 Adventure Game Challenge. It's a surreal, somewhat existential story about language barriers, holograms, and cognitive bias.

No AI has been used in the development of this game. Made by humans for humans and/or donkeys.

Important note: the final sequence of the game contains some bright lights and flashing effects that could trigger seizures. These effects can be disabled from the settings menu.

A handsome little puzzle, April 13, 2025

A very brief puzzle game. Would be great to play first thing in the morning to get your mind moving.
