Pointless irreverence, July 12, 2019by Victor Gijsbers (The Netherlands) This is a short choice-based game about going to church. You sit through an absolutely nonsensical sermon, perhaps spending the time checking out some good-looking girls, and then there's a wide-branching set of choices at the end. You may end up seeing God, getting your soul eaten by a demon, or just going home after the sermon. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

I know sometimes it helps, but my rule of thumb is if I am reminded of stale jokes like "What's the deal with airline food" or "Why don't make the whole plane out of the black box material?" You probably have your own rules of thumb for detecting pointless self-indulgent irreverence that drags the conversation down, but one of mine is to picture someone laughing too hard at their own joke. You probably know most of this in some form or other, but your review helped me spell a few thoughts out. And I think it avoids "look, I'm dunking something I don't like" ... which the ClickHole game seems to utterly fail at. So, thanks. Victor Gijsbers, July 12, 2019 - Reply Well, we'll have to disagree about that, even though it is hard to ascertain the extent of our disagreement from a few posts. Let's just say that there are some writers who inspire me and who use the terminology of (a particular) religion. Obviously, these are not writers who say things like: "Believe these dogmas or you will go to hell!" Sobol, July 12, 2019 - Reply Games by ClickHole routinely refuse to take anything seriously. Sometimes their sheer absurdity is boring; sometimes quite funny. I'd recommend Youre 8 Years Old. Can You Acquire Wine Without Getting Arrested? - in my opinion, rather entertaining. Of course alcohol consumption by minors is a serious issue; but trying to read the game as some kind of meaningful commentary on this issue would be missing the point.
