Adam's Attitude, the side scrolling platformer that makes you keep your cool in the face of extremely irritating mechanics! The game requires a microphone to play, and requires voice prompts to execute a number of commands such as opening menus, performing actions etc... You play Adam, a character set in a 3D world requiring the solving of puzzles with platform mechanics, extremely dangerous puzzles, and riddles given to you by the man who controls this world; a strange-smelling bearded man with a distinct love of all things cheese. The platform puzzles will be extremely difficult in parts, and may often change the rules without any warning and are designed with frustration in mind. Here's where the microphone comes in, the game will be constantly getting feedback from the player from what the player says in their frustration and by the tone of their voice. Should the player have a frustrated inflection in their voice, the game may keep increasing the difficulty of the mechanics. In addition to this, options such as quitting from the menu also require voice prompt. Wanting to quit may require a number of checks (because you know, the game wants to be absolutely sure that you really want to quit) and getting frustrated will simply cause the overlord of this cheesy dominion to further antagonise you in silly ways (such as then giving you a clickbox to leave the game, but constantly switching around the yes and no buttons before you can click on them). Ultimately the game's goal is to provide a frustrating but ultimately hilarious experience, irritating the player with ever so minor things but ultimately keeping them entertained and wanting to play over and over again. Should they player leave the game with Ctrl-Alt-Delete, the game will be furious and may possibly even require a re-install or some act of apology to play again.
