    Older article, but I just read about the game/concept and I though I would share since I couldn’t find anything a out Blippo+ on this community.

    Does it have an actual game embedded in it somehow? Like you solve a puzzle or something that is hidden in clues within the shows?

      Nope. There is an overarching story happening if you want to pay attention but they just recorded a bunch of absurdist content and charge you to watch it in their own software.

      Its like a streaming platform where you literally have to watch the previous episode to get the next.

        Oh. If that’s really the case then it is much less exciting. That almost sounds like some kind of boring fine arts thesis.

    That looks really interesting, but I’m just left wondering what the objective is, or what kind of gameplay is actually there.

      Its about watching FMVs made by the team that made Thank Goodness you’re Here.

      Essentially you are paying a one time fee to the weirdest streaming platform ever.

        It’s not the team that made Thank Goodness You’re Here. It’s the same publisher that also published Thank Goodness You’re Here. That’s the equivalent of two different streaming shows that are both exclusive to the same service.

      If it’s anything like the game Immortality, there’s an underlying story you can figure out. The gameplay in Immortality involves clicking elements in the video to link to elements from videos from other times and in-universe media. You can fast-forward and reverse, and there’s a hidden element you can discover.

      Lots of nudity and a fair amount of blood, though.

        It’s not. There’s no gameplay here. It’s just streaming weird content.
