I wanna kill the guy

If you're looking for a game that's completely off the rails and doesn't take itself too seriously, I Want to Kill the Guy might just be your next guilty pleasure. It’s the third entry in the quirky Windows Movie Maker inspired series, but don’t let that fool you this one stands out from the pack. Unlike its predecessors, it ditches the story driven approach entirely and goes all in on chaotic, no frills gameplay.

The title itself is a playful nod to the infamous I Wanna Be the Guy, a cult classic known for its brutal difficulty and meme worthy moments. Interestingly, I Want to Kill the Guy was created by Kayin, the same developer behind the original, who apparently thought, "Why not take this madness even further?" But here’s the twist: while I Wanna Be the Guy drops you into a surreal world filled with tragic backstories and revenge plots, this spin off strips all that away. No emotional baggage, no deep lore just pure, unadulterated fun.

In I Wanna Be the Guy, you follow a young boy unraveling a dark conspiracy after his mother’s murder, complete with shady uncles, international intrigue, and a boarding school run by a mysterious girl. It’s wild, campy, and surprisingly engaging if you’re into that sort of thing. But I Want to Kill the Guy says, "Nah, let’s keep it simple." What you get is a straightforward, customizable experience where the goal isn’t to save the world it’s to cause mayhem on your own terms. Perfect for when you just want to unwind without overthinking it.

So, if you’re in the mood for something light, fast, and full of inside jokes for gaming veterans, give this one a shot. It might not have the depth of its inspiration, but sometimes, you just wanna kill the guy no questions asked.
