About the Game

Odd Things is a dark puzzle-platformer about survival and laughing at life's cruel jokes.


Using Only

  • Simple controls, you’ll stumble through dozens of strange,

  • Hand-drawn levels. Each one is a short,

  • Surreal puzzle(s) with no instructions,

  • No dialogue, and

  • No guiding voice.

  • Just you and whatever happens next.

Some levels reward patience. Others punish you for existing. A few just want to be left alone. Through all the unexpected outcomes, a quiet narrative begins to take shape.

It is a story about loss, addiction, and trying to make sense of things that don’t.

Odd Things

Began as a personal project during a time when everything felt broken. Turning those feelings into puzzles helped. Now it’s your turn to find meaning in the madness, or just flip off a monster and move on. Either way, someone something falls off a cliff.

TL;DR:

  • Dozens of short, surreal puzzle-platformer levels

  • Simple controls. Just left and right

  • Every level is a standalone episode with its own strange logic

  • Learn through experimentation, failure, and persistence

  • Hand-drawn, black-and-white art with unsettling charm

  • A mix of dark humor, quiet emotion, and mildly threatening objects

  • Inspired by early 2000s web games and very bad dreams
