About the Game

Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 is "committing to the bit" so hard that it hurts.

It's a sequel to a game series that doesn't exist, complete with lore and a fictional development team. It's a game where match-3 is used not just for combat, but for lockpicking doors, debating robots, and swallowing a bunch of diamonds in front of a notorious gem thief so that he can't steal them first.

It is, all genre elements considered, a match-3 survival horror comedy RPG metroidvania, and it's rad as hell.

20 years ago, Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion emerged as a smash-hit genre fusion, casting fan-favorite protagonist Jack Briar in a fast-paced puzzle adventure.

8 years ago, Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 was announced on the biggest stage in gaming.

This is what happened next.

What is this?

  • A match-3 metroidvania--or matchroidvania --exploring the development of a sequel to a game series that doesn't exist.

  • Another wild genre fusion from the developers behind Clickolding, I Am Your Beast, and Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator.

  • A story about sequels, game development, and the horrible, beautiful things that happen when the foundation of your reality falls apart.

  • Part match-3 metroidvania, part choice-based narrative, part survival horror parody, part joyful wheel-spinning nightmare.

  • A game that could only work with a polka soundtrack, provided by award-winning composer David Mason (Dredge, Life Eater).

  • Committing to the bit
