Tux and Fanny is one of my favourite games of all time now. It defies definition, but I'll say some of the reasons I like it.
To me, the game is a surreal, sometimes dark comedy, sometimes light comedy or sometimes simply living life comedy. You get sucked into a world where Tux and Fanny see everything around them as just a part of their daily life. They react in the same manner to flowers, aliens, goblins, unicorns, giant flies, experimental cinema, great works if literature, and cat pee.
If anyone has seen Flight of the Conchords, it similarly captures the sense of how two people who are living together and exist as a single bonded unit doing everything together without being married can easily develop a sense of logic and understanding of the world completely parallel to any human expectation or norm. That relationship is so well developed here and so deeply funny.
I laughed and marvelled the second I launched the game and saw that you could play as different characters in different times, and those characters are Tux, Fanny a cat and some flea on the ground. I enjoyed a tour de force of experimental retro styles in the vast number of in-game games Tux and Fanny have on their computer. I cracked up at their alternate universe astrology constellations. I love how the most mundane characters have the most profound things to say, and the most profound characters the most mundane. People will look at this and say it's another cosy style game. Don't think it. It gets spooky, it gets bleak, and it gets euphoric.
It also has about the most satisfying actually comprehensible logic for a puzzle adventure game I've encountered.
Don't sleep on this. Tux and Fanny has so many varieties of things in it there's literally something for everyone. Go play the best game of 2021.
