About the Game

Background

You have one job. Take the chicken out of the freezer before Um Fatima gets home. Is that really it though?

I FORGOT TO TAKE THE CHICKEN OUT OF THE FREEZER is a survival shooter that takes place in Um Fatima's realm. A bleak space with several locations of interest: a mosque, a farm estate, a campsite with three tents, a lonely campsite with one tent, and a suburban-style home. Roam a rain-soaked landscape to find the freezer in time before Um Fatima arrives, or before you are caught. You have your trusty service rifle; should you run into any trouble. Trouble you might run into include any of Um Fatima's dead daughters, Stacey, and Um Fatima herself. She will begin to look for your if you don't take the chicken out of the freezer in time. Whichever mob you run into, you need to choose whether to retaliate and try to eliminate the threat, or try to run away, and keep looking for the freezer.

Is that really it though? I mean... is there a way to avenge Um Fatima's daughters (and Stacey)? Is there possibly a way to defeat Um Fatima? 

Reflect on your life choices while you try to get the chicken out of the freezer, or decide to uncover the world, and find the true ending.

Gameplay

Mechanics in the game are very simple. The player always spawns at the same point (right about the center of the map). There are also 4 mobs that spawn throughout 4 different important locations on the map. Um Fatima will spawn shortly after the start of the game. The player can decide whether they want to engage enemies, or try to evade or run away.

There is a hidden ending that the player can try to uncover. Use playthroughs to explore the map more to try to uncover the hidden ending.
