Obscure and surreal point-and-click masterpiece heavily influenced by the works of Carl Jung. At its core it’s a fishing game and a dating simulator (yes, really) set in a decaying, rotten industrial world populated by broken biomechanical machines struggling to keep themselves sane and alive through meandering busywork and endless tasks. The world of Garage is miserable, cruel, even soul crushing, but ultimately it’s the only existence these machines have ever known. As such, playing through and seeing the machines go about their daily routines, managing to get by and uphold a fragile fabric of order within this decrepit reality is strangely comforting and even cathartic at times. There are multiple interwoven narratives that explore the backgrounds of each inhabitant in Garage and how their psyche is shaped by this world and beyond it. The core gameplay is satisfying and offers a lot of depth, more than initially meets the eye. Catching different kinds of fish, upgrading your machine parts, trading in caught fish for coupons to buy better equipment and lures. And uncovering the secrets behind Garage, with multiple endings to unlock as well. It is not a feel good game at all necessarily, but deeply engrossing and hard to put down once you start playing. The misery is a part of the experience, as it is the strange nightmare world of Garage pulling you in. Even months after finishing it, I still can’t get this game out of my head. It’s definitely an acquired taste, but I highly recommend taking this strange ride, there is absolutely nothing else like it.

For a point and click fishing simulator / dating simulator, I don't even think what I can articulate fully encapsulates the true nature of what's in this game. You know how video games, no matter the genre, aim to make you feel good? Like how first person shooters pump you full of adrenaline, farming simulators or games like Minecraft aim to give you a sense of progress, so you can feel pride in the work you've put in? Garage: Bad Dream Adventure is the first game I've ever seen to make you feel nothing but bad. Alone and empty. Contemplating why you're here, who you are, if you should even bother going on. Yet you can't look away, you keep coming back. The visuals are gritty and bleak, but so full of detail that it's overwhelming, especially in the first couple of chapters. The whole world around you is rusty, molded, mildewed, and rotting away underneath you. The music and sound effects are barebones and simple, but provide a sad and hopeless ambiance if the visuals somehow weren't enough to get that point across. The character design is unnerving as hell and all look vaguely similar, yet each character has unique design features so it's easy to tell them apart. Everyone is deformed in some way; lumpy heads, bulging eyes, grotesquely flailing genitals. Speaking of which; not going to spoil anything, but this is one of the few games to ever exist with intersex (or intersex-transitioning?) representation which is pretty unique to see today, let alone in the 90's when this came out. Along with that, no topic is too taboo in this game. There are mentions of suicide, self harm, and a short scene depicting sexual assault. Everything nasty you'd try to avoid in every day life is splayed out in front of you in Garage. My advice for progressing through the game? Repeatedly talk to everyone as much as possible. Blink and you will miss something or accidentally soft lock yourself out of an achievement. You are bound to miss multiple achievements the first few playthroughs anyways, so don't stress too much your first time. Don't concern yourself too much with buying fish hooks either, you'll find plenty. Spend the early parts of the game saving up your stamps for the upgrades, because your fuel and ego run out so quickly. I have yet to 100% this game and I'm on my 3rd playthrough, likely with many more to come. No matter what ending I get I am left more confused and empty than last time. I highly recommend this game. Especially if you've got a little something wrong with you. Or a lot, I don't judge.

Really has to be played by more people, the fact that this incredibly unique game exists and was recovered from its lost media status to be put on Steam with a translation is nothing short of a miracle

A super obscure Japan-only point-and-click adventure with a run-down diesel-punk aesthetic with themes of loss-of-identity and mental-illness-how-many-more-hyphens-can-I-add-to-this?? AND it has fishing??? I was very impressed to also learn that the people behind this version of the game have updated and balanced it since release, rather than just leaving it as is. If literally any of that sound interesting then I'd recommend checking it out!
