The best games you missed in 2021: Tux and FannyWhen you take a closer look, everything is an adventure
When you take a closer look, everything is an adventure
Ghost Time Games’ Tux And Fanny, from co-developers Albert Birney and Gabriel Koenig, is not only the game I think you may have missed this year, but it is also my Game Of The Year for 2021. This game sends two best friends (alongside a courageous flea and a mischievous cat) through adventures great, small, and absurd to stunning effect – and you owe it to yourself to give this little marvel a play before the year is well and truly out.

Like something out of Monkey Island or (my personal favourite) those early 2000s inventory-puzzle browser-based escape-the-room games, Tux And Fanny is a point-and-click(ish – you’ll mostly use your arrow keys to get around, but the vibes are the same, you know?) adventure that celebrates the magical mundanities of life, death, friendship, birds and bugs in its 10-ish hour play time.
