The music is apparently a community project, having been cobbled together using a sample pack of club beats. It looks like something someone threw up after gorging themselves on Starbursts and Pixi Stix. The titular Club is an eye-watering combination of flashing lights and pink walls bedecked with posters in searing color. Serves me right for going clubbing with a sinus infection.
Being set in a nightclub, the musical thuds I could hear even from the starting area set my head pounding. The studio described it in the announcement newsletter as “ a mission-less, non-competitive, online music listening game (it’s an MMO).” And it’s hard to argue with those semantics.Ĭuriosity appropriately piqued, I entered the game - which can, by Crows’ words, be played in any browser for free - and immediately had to turn down my volume. The game is developed by Crows Crows Crows, the studio founded by William Pugh, one of the designers behind popular ennui simulator The Stanley Parable.
