The developers of Oh…Sir!, a game they describe as an “insult simulator,” ask, “what defines the holiday season more than the act of giving, and spending time surviving passive aggressive rude comments from friends and family around a table?” Well, practically nothing (besides overpriced gadgets). So, they invite us all to celebrate the holidays by grabbing a loved one and enjoying some dignified local 1v1 multiplayer goodness by downloading Oh…Sir! for free on Steam and iOS now. Rather gracious of them, no?
What in blazes is an insult simulator, you ask? Good question, and one we were eager to know the answer to as well. Here is a video that gives at least some idea of what this game is about:
So there you have it. In short, if you think your best friend’s mother is a hamster and your boss smells of elderberries, you can apparently invite them to play Oh…Sir! and show them in no uncertain terms what is on your mind.
The game was, we are told, created in 42 hours during the amJam game jam event hosted byArtifex Mundi. The competition’s theme was “this parrot is no more” based on the Monty Pythons’ Dead Parrot sketch. Oh…Sir! came in second and received an audience award.
Thus, it is a jolly videogame about dead parrots and insulting your beloved loved ones; a game where your sister can convince you that your hovercraft is full of eels and your hat is silly; a game that reminds you that you should always look on the bright side of life – even the harshest insult can be classy when said over a cup of tea (and Spam sandwiches?)
Interested? Oh…Sir! is available for free on Steam now. And for more information about Oh…Sir! you can visit their Facebook page.
