Save the Guy: Funny Choice

A choice-based adventure game

Save the Guy: Funny Choice is an adventure game built around short decision-making puzzles. Each scene presents the character with a problem, and you choose what he should do next. The outcomes depend on those choices, so the main activity is weighing up two or more possible actions rather than controlling movement or fighting.

What to expect

The game follows a man trying to get out of trouble, beginning with a prison escape and continuing through a series of unusual situations. Its puzzles use slapstick, dark humour and deliberately strange options. Some choices are practical, while others are surprising or silly. The appeal is in seeing how the scene changes after each decision and working out which option keeps the story moving.

• Short levels focused on one choice at a time
• Tricky situations with different possible outcomes
• Humorous, sometimes offbeat scenarios
• A casual format suited to brief play sessions

Who it suits

This is aimed at players who enjoy simple puzzle games with a comic story and quick decisions. It may suit someone who wants an easy-to-start game rather than a complex adventure system. The humour is intentionally broad and can be odd or inappropriate in places, so it is worth considering whether that tone fits the person who will be using the phone.

Ratings and publisher

Brightika, Inc. publishes the game. It is listed in the Adventure category and has a rating of about 4.0 out of 5 from 379,889 reviews. With 10,000,000+ installs, it has a large player base, although those figures do not say whether its particular style of humour will be a good match for every player.
