Orphan Feast is a delightfully strange game, inspired by a combination of Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” and Dickens’ Oliver Twist — with a little Dr. Seuss and Tim Burton thrown into the mix. In Orphan Feast you play Creeky Tom, a ghoulish rogue whose goal is to prowl the dark alleys and rundown streets of old London and capture the homeless street urchins you’ll find everywhere there, gathering them in a sack, while avoiding a cast of crazy characters out to foil you in bizarre ways. The orphans — if you make it back to your lair — are destined for the oven, to be baked into pies (and Tom himself often snacks on the little kiddies when he’s not doing anything else). It’s a despicable premise, but the artwork is so well-done that you’ll keep playing to see what they come up with next.
Brought to you by [adult swim] games, so you know that it’s weird. In fact, they’ve got a LOT of crazy games even weirder and more deplorable than this one. Like 5 Minutes to Kill Yourself, a classic favorite.
Getting hungry? Time to partake in the Orphan Feast!
Happy Holidays!
