The absurdly-named YEAH! YOU WANT “THOSE GAMES,” RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET’S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM! title just showed up out of nowhere, confusing anyone unfamiliar with mobile game ads.
For those unfamiliar, mobiles games use fake ads used to lure people into downloading titles, they use simple puzzle games in the ads, but the actual game they are advertising is completely different.
This is naturally meant to bait the consumer into playing something they wouldn’t normally be interested in, and has become a common ploy by these ad campaigns.
Those Games seeks to actually turn these false ads into a real playable mini game collection, since these games never really existed to begin with.
It’s extremely weird to see fake mobile ads being turned into real titles, especially by the PC port studio behind the Katamari Damacy series, but it seems to be completely in line with their sense of humor as well.
Those Games is available on Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows (through Steam).
