Lunchtime of the Damned

Lunchtime of the Damned is a short and surreal game from Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw, created long before his name became widely associated with quirky indie adventures. As the title suggests, normal lunchtime activities have somehow collided with the supernatural, resulting in an experience that leans heavily into absurd humor. The game is small, strange and unmistakably influenced by Croshaw's characteristic approach to comedy, where bizarre situations and deliberately ridiculous characters are treated with surprising seriousness. It is less about complex mechanics and more about enjoying the peculiar journey. For anyone exploring the early work of an influential indie developer, Lunchtime of the Damned is an entertaining little historical curiosity and a reminder that strange ideas have always been part of the recipe.
