Every Saturday, we put together a list of games coming to Xbox over the next week, and that's exactly what we've been drafting up over the past few hours — with one game in particular standing out just because of how ridiculous it is.
Yes, on January 23rd, we'll be getting a game known as "I'm in Love With Your Dead Grandmother" on Xbox at a price of £4.19 / $4.99. We've never played it before, but the footage above suggests it's an entirely FMV-driven game in which you have to make choices to change how the story plays out.
That "story" is absolutely insane though. Just look at the footage — it's clearly just two people messing around in front of a video camera to make themselves laugh. There's an innocence to that kind of thing that's charming in some ways, but then it's not surprising that some of the reviews have been very critical of its previous PS4 release.
For example, FingerGuns called it "rough, goofy and deeply perplexing", albeit with a "charming sincerity". Old Game Hermit simply criticised it as "hot garbage". Look on Metacritic and YouTube though, and you'll find people who like it.
Ultimately, you're going to know from the footage above whether "I'm in Love With Your Dead Grandmother" is your kind of game or not, and it'll certainly get attention just for how crazy and cringey it is. It might also end up doing well because the achievements are so easy — you can get them all in around 30 minutes.
We'll leave you with some screenshots below, and you can make your own mind up next week.
Hello, I'm Noah. I'm 28 years old and still haven't got a single date in my life, I'm looking for a life coach who can help me figure out the hard choices in my day to day life, you know? I'm sad and single, I have some friends online, but that's it.
I thankfully got a date with a girl named Michelle. She's a bit too young for my liking, I prefer people that are over 70 years old. Just a preference, but I'm willing to give her a try. Can you please help me not ruin this date with her? Please? I will sometimes ask for your help on how to react or what to do. Thank you!

It’s a no from me dawg
hahahaha that game is so bad that it becomes simply amazing. I love it
gross
(i have nothing more to say)
He sounds like Borat
This is on par with Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, which in case you didn't know, is also available on Xbox.
So sick of seeing the crappy shovelware this "developer" puts out on every psn sale, and now it will be clogging ip the xbox marketplace too. Lovely.
I think i owe an apology to bla bla simulator games... this thing is not a game.
Who would pay for this thing? The answers scare me...
I mean… it’s $5… and looks novel and silly. All the comma-splices in the description made me cringe tho. Maybe that was written by whoever manages the copy for storefronts or whatever.
@Weebleman Oh no! Cover your eyes and ears, it's back!
@Markatron84 THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELLS YOU! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELLS YOU!
Calling it shovelware misses the point. It’s deliberately bad and absurd… The intentionality is the whole concept.
These have been quite popular for years on PS digital stores. Gaming equivalents of "Shot On Video". Good fun.
