Anthology of the Killer

couldnt think of anywhere else to go after today. im going to make sure i hang out with bb as much as i can so i can make sure i live as long as i can

I LOVE ANTHOLOGY OF A KILLER RAAAHHHHH

Playing this game is the best thing that has ever happened to me! Best game EVER!!!

The 90s had Ghost World, the 00's had Scott Pilgrim, the 10s had Night in the Woods, and now we've got Of the Killer for the 20s even though it's the obscurest of them all.

The game captures the modern condition brilliantly. Every episode feels like an allegory of how we try to survive the absurdities of the modern world without ceasing to be human. 

Some people are literally turning into monsters but you can still chat with them about music and stuff. It's about being young and naive but not expecting much. It's about searching for the meaning of meaninglessness among tragically amusing ruins of other people's failed passion projects, million dollar modern art masterpieces that look like a kid's doodles, and remnants of B-list pop culture phenomena from decades ago that you have an unexplainable emotional attachement to. 

A 10/10 veritable modern classic. Polar opposite of soulless corporate crap. 

Game of the year. Game of the decade. Game of the century. Game that will eclipse all of known history, relating to electronic entertainment or otherwise. GOD I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!

this game came to me at a difficult time in my life and it’s really helped me through it in a weird way. Sometimes i say “i’m gonna go hang out with bb” before i turn on the game

genuinely one of my top ten favourite games ever

A thought-provoking experience that really left an impression on me. Lots of memorable characters and it had me hooked the whole way through. Analyzing the meaning of each scene and experiencing all of the quirky humor was really fun and I'll miss popping on this game at 3 AM every night. 

My personal Tier List: drool > face > hands > blood > ears > heart > eyes > flesh > voice
(drool's aesthetic was the coolest to me but face is probably the most well made)

Thank you for this wonderful game, I wish for the best in your future pursuits.

for those of us who have gone through the rest of thecatamites' catalogue and are still hungry for more stories to capture that "anthology of the killer" charm, i've been reading the grant morrison doom patrol comics and they come pretty close. the surrealist settings the characters end up getting caught in are very killeresque, and the villains-- mr. nobody in particular-- feel exactly like the pompous ideologues whose nonsense bb would have to deal with. i seriously need to do some crossover fanart with these series, they have a lot of differences but they match up so well

An incredibly original and enjoyable series of games.

The cutest and kookiest vehicle for slow burn existential horror I've ever played... an experience that made me genuinely grateful to be alive yet also want to get murdered (for drama and aesthetics)

Played this slowly over the course of 2 months and wow what a satisfying game/zine. Such a good way to do it. The art, music, and writing are very immersive and actually I think gave me a bit of brain damage—but in a good way.

I don't think I've ever played a game so in-tune with my own sense of humor. Consistently hilarious. Also deserves more credit for tackling some really interesting philosophy. Will make you think a lot more than you'd expect. Best game I've played in a while, highest recommendation.

I regret to inform you that you have made the perfect game.

What can I say? It's quirky but it gets the job done.

Finished it through a weekend and it's such an astonishing ride!

Really hope there could be some community localization support, since now I feel a great impulsion of translating the game to Chinese (although it may be impossible to achieve by my own)

the writing makes me feel dumb but in an "i someday want to be smart enough to understand everything this game has to say" way

my main problem with the game is that it doesn't have a save feature, when you get to the later games they get longer, and i got stuck on geometry so i had to quit and start over. but other than that the game is flantastic.

This is now one of my favorite games,thank you for making it (and space funeral to lol)

kinda reminds me of old 90s simpsons.

Now this takes me back to the old days of the web, but with less slurs and risk of getting a pron virus after trying to pirate lego soccer. It's very comfy

So very glad to have seen this on a Vinesauce stream – it's some of the most Sunday Stream content to ever hit a weekday. You can really smell the DNA of Space Funeral all over this and vice-versa. I've had to excitedly show this to all my music snob and Weird-Menace-appreciating friends like I'm a cat bringing its owner gifts of miscellaneous leaf litter and dead slugs.

Probably one of my favorite games I've ever played. It's beautiful in a way I didn't expect video games could be. The writing is intelligent and brilliantly absurd. It made me incredibly emotionally and I still don't understand why. I love these games. I love BB. Thank you thank you thank you. If anyone is reading this and looking for a recommendation, please please please play this game. 

<3

I only recently learned you also made Space Funeral. I thought my opinion of your talent couldn't get any higher. You are one of the rare creative geniuses which enter into this world every half-century or so. I'm appreciative to be around for it.

this is maybe some of the most spernacular crambache i've seen in my life. Thank you ♥️

Really incredible. Constantly one-ups itself, leading up to an incredibly heartfelt fever nightmare of an ending. Can't recommend enough.

I'm glad I bought stock in Of The Killer early.

In the end, we are all "Of the Killers" killers...

I cant claim to understand the broader context of everything but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Keep on killin' it dude, if you make any more of this I'll send over a pizza guy who will then stab you... with love! Or maybe he's just going to make you bleed a lot, either way, thanks for making this. It twas a truly memorable experience that my eyeballs will never forget

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be pierced by meditations on culture's inescapable relationship with violence.

really engaging, makes me smile. love it

this game brought me so much joy so many times while i played it, like eureka style recognition of something blah blah i haven't smiled so much all year. you are the people's hero for only charging $6 but i wish there was a button i could press whenever i had $6 and don't really need it desperately, so i could give you $6 for every time this game made me really really really happy while i was playing it... i bought a copy for my friend so that's a start
