About the Game

Nerd Simulator is a short, humorous point-and-click adventure for one evening. Meet Mervin: he’s forty years old, has no savings, no plans for the future, and a mom who expects rent every single week.

About the Game

Your goal is simple: help Mervin earn enough money to finally move out of his mom’s house. Click everything that can be clicked, talk to the local weirdos, and take on jobs no sensible person would ever put on their résumé.

The road to independence leads through casinos, suspicious cryptocurrencies, and friendships with even shadier characters. Every one of Mervin’s ideas sounds bad, and most of them end even worse.

Sometimes, however, you have to do some honest work. Mow lawns, scrub toilets, sort garbage, and complete other absurd jobs presented as short mini-games.

Short on rent money? Dance at a strip club. Lost everything? Challenge your mom to a fistfight. In Mervin’s life, every problem has a solution – usually a very stupid one.

Between disasters, visit the gym, paint something, or befriend a goldfish. After all, Mervin needs a moment to recover from the consequences of his own decisions.

Wackyngton is not a normal place. You’ll meet over-the-top characters, hear dialogue dripping with dark humor, and experience situations that leave you with only one question: “WTF?!”

What’s Inside?

  • A short, focused point-and-click adventure designed for a single evening

  • A mix of 2D and 3D tasks, Mervin’s interactive room, and his command center – a computer running Doors XD

  • A series of short mini-games inspired by Mervin’s most ridiculous jobs and side hustles

  • Simple management of Mervin’s needs: sleep, hunger, and bladder

  • Room customization and light progression elements

  • Dialogue packed with dark humor and a cast of bizarre, over-the-top characters

  • Additional activities such as working out, painting, and other absurd hobbies

  • A small story-driven comedy interspersed with mini-games

Nerd Simulator is a small game about a big nerd – a short, weird, and unapologetically stupid adventure for one evening.
