You are at your wit's end! Everything seems to be going wrong, your girlfriend leaves you, fired from your job, getting failing grades at uni, kicked out of your apartment, family want nothing to do with you and your friends are now all "Too busy" to care. Sick and tired of all this rubbish you decide to relinquish your petty mortal life and once again return to being that badass villain you once were. But what's this, heroes have appeared and have brought along those who ditched you in an attempt to convince you otherwise…
Unleash fury across the world! Equipped with a sword clearly meant for a man the size of a mountain and powers beyond any sort of comprehension (Why did you even bother trying to be normal?) set out and just take whatever you want all while wreaking havoc. In your travels across the land you will encounter heroes, who in an attempt to convince you to stop your selfish and evil ways will battle you in both combat and argument as they use the assistance of your family, friends, teachers and the like.

One day as you and your sister are walking back from the supermarket, you encounter a strangely dressed woman. Faster than you can react, the woman uses what appears to be magic to both kidnap your sister and open a portal which she leaps into with sister clutched under her arm. Quickly shaking off your astonishment and disbelief you jump in after them. Upon reaching the other side you find yourself wearing a peculiar pair of headphones as well as being surrounded by enemies, just then your headphones start playing rock music, instilling you with a feeling of power. After defeating the last enemy around, you take off after the wizard.
The game plays out with you chasing after this female wizard who has kidnapped your sister. The reason behind this is slowly revealed as you progress through the story. To progress you must fight and run through stages which are filled with monsters and soldiers all whom are working under the wizard to stop you. Stages themselves are 3D environments that contain many obstacles and 'plat-forming puzzles' which you must traverse. You control your character's movement with WASD/Left thumb stick with the camera following behind you. Your primary ability is to use music to manipulate yourself, such as playing rock to boost your strength. As you go through stages you may find more types of music with other various abilities. Combat works like a 3D movement orientated fighting game, depending on what music you are playing determines what kind of combos you can perform. All of this sits under a time limit, as it is also a race to catch the wizard.

You are a sqweeb (A Skinny and weak man). One day while walking with your companion; your little dog, you encounter a strong looking man with a moustache so manly your instincts scream at you to run away. However the man smells your fear and quickly clasps your shoulders preventing you from escaping, he then exclaims: "Boy do you desire to be a man!? To be strong!? TO HAVE A MOUSTACHE!?"
Depending how you answer the game will begin if you hit 'yes' or will throw you out if you hit 'no'. Upon beginning the game you are taught that everything 'Manly' revolves around the moustache. So your objective is to grow and groom your moustache in various areas, in order to become stronger. This includes performing facial hair weight lifting, reading up on 'Moustache management techniques' and grooming your moustache. When you think you are ready you can try the 'Moustached Battle Arena' where you can fight against other moustached men seeking strength and manliness.
The game starts off very much as a management RPG game, where you train in certain areas consuming both time and energy for that day. Once the player reaches a certain point they are able to use the 'Moustached Battle Arena' which is implemented in a 'Fighting game' format while still using the aforementioned RPG statistics. Other than training and fighting, the player can also go shopping for items, or take a part-time job. Both fighting and going to a part-time job give you money you can then spend at the shops.

Beat the sickness is a side-scrolling brawler game where you play as an assortment of characters based on medication and vitamins and enter a human body in order to combat viruses and diseases, by literally beating the stuffing out of them. Progressing through levels requires you to defeat enemies onscreen before continuing to the next area/group of the level. At the end of each level you will have a boss like encounter that varies between, a swarm of weaker boss like enemies, one large and powerful boss and an in-between or 'normal' type.
After completion of a level you are then tallied your score which you can then spend on additional combat abilities, or upgrading existing ones. These 'upgrade' segments play out as a small shopping area that the player can explore somewhat before going to the next stage, and yes this is still inside the human body and is kind of a humour thing.
Once beating a certain amount of levels the player is given a 'final boss' fight against a virus that would give a more serious challenge not unlike those in an arcade fighting game. Upon defeating this final boss the player wins the game, and may unlock the final boss if the player already has beaten it with all other characters.
