Dark sick humor. Not for most people. Perfect for me. This was my jam. Michael Jackson is haunting Anne Frank and I bet she'll write about it. It gets worse. Dark humor and I LOL 5 or 6 times.

I don't think I want to pay for a reading game again. However, it was an enjoyable experience. Also, I do spend more on a beer all the time. This was worth more than a beer.

In a really good way though.

Funny, horribly offensive to some I'm sure but not to me.
It's like an old south park episode.
Very low budget but cheap enough where it doesn't matter.
Filled me with the ha-has!

One of the funniest games ive played in ages. I havent been laughing this much since ... i dont even know anymore. Its a wonderful game and definitely worth its price. Oh and since the credits encouraged me to give the creators of the game some feedback: ITS AWESOME, YOU DID A SPLENDID JOB GUYS AND I HOPE THERE WILL BE MORE OF THAT. No but seriously, im willing to spend all my hard earned money on games like this. As uve stated in the credits jokes are getting a worse image day by day and so i love to see guys like you who dont hesitate do be a little bit more daring than most of the other devs out there. Seriously, the price is fair and square for what we get, its a great game and im looking forward to see more of you :)!

Lasted 20 minutes. Not too funny but got a chuckle or two. I have seen worse ways to spend a dollar.

This game is offensive, in the best way. I laughed the whole time while playing this game. I would love to see more news stories. The banter between the reporters was great and the stories were hilarious. Great job.

But for 79 cents, who am I to complain?

I want to support this folks, I've been enjoying their little games and I feel they have a potential to pull off something ambitious someday :) This game was cute and chuckle-worthy. I like your horror titles more, guys, but don't be afraid to try more of comedy, support will come! Looking forward to your projects :)

You should bundle this with a free copy of "Dank Kitchen" when it comes out. That alone will make the price worth it. That and a pretentious art book of all of the original art used in the game. Like an "Art of Naked News" pdf

As a stonner I want the cook book and hope theres a new episode every week. Its the first time I've actually sat threw the news. Its way happier toned then the test or the horrorscope surprized to be honest but awsome. Yes I am procrastinating by playing your games first lmao.

Being offensive doesn't just make you funny. I'm not a total prude when it comes to jokes but I don't think I laughed once in this game before I quit. It takes effort to make a joke funny and just saying something offensive and expecting people to laugh doesn't work well. I recommend you stick to horror guys your skill is much more apparent there.

This is not even a game! It is ridiculous that it shows controls on the menu, since the only thing you can do is skip faster the dialogues and "news" that didn't even make me laugh a little bit.

I enjoyed a lot their other titles, especially "The Horrorscope" (which was an amazing experience btw), but this one... sorry, it's not worth it.

I found it a little funny but it gets tired pretty quick

In terms of value there's not a lot, took me 17 minutes more or less to read through all that was there. I'm generally a slow reader so people can probably speed through faster. I found most of it funny, some not, but overall liked the humor.

It really depends on what you want for a buck whether I'd recommend it. I struggled with whether to recommend it or not, and ultimately I don't think there's much reason to buy it. Sure, I found it amusing overall and I'm fine with the purchase. But, I don't think most people would want to spend even a dollar on something this short with no gameplay. There are free visual novels on here that take hours to complete.

If you're one of the few who would be fine with 17 minutes of content for a dollar where it's entirely focused on comedy and some of it being 'offensive' then I'd recommend it then. But for most people, I don't think it'd be worth it which is why I ultimately chose not to recommend it.

As for a glitch, there's a rain scene and after that the rain stays until the game ends when it's not supposed to. Not sure how you can make something so simple in RPG Maker with an issue like that in it, but it's not a big deal either. Just something to note.

this game is like an acid trip in news form and is Stupidest game i,ve ever played in all the most fun ways the stories are as absurd as they need to be and then they get even more ridiculous as time goes by is it worth a dollar yes i would recommend getting it especially if it somehow goes on sale.

Let me breathe in your mouth!
Let me breathe…

This game is like shitposting for videogames. Let me just say that this game is actually the only game of its kind unlike the other 4 games that are the same game that are the only games of their kind. I want to hate myself for playing (watching) this but unfortunately I can no longer feel feelings. This is chronic, I can tell. I'm an expert.

Please stop breathing for 45 seconds to 5 minutes at a time so your brain can hit the reset button. Thanks.

A lot of this was hit-or-miss. Most of this involved running gags that were either funny every time they were brought up, or really tiring "LOL RANDOM FUNEE" tidbits that go on for way too long. And why was the Anti-PC message necessary? What was that all about?

Not the worst way to spend a dollar.

...Not the best one, either.

HellsX
HellsX

Hard to recommend this:

1. It's not a game at all
2. While bits of it are funny...as a whole, no.

I won't refund a dollar but I will not recommend it either.

I'd absolutely love to see more games by your team. Absolutely loved the personalities and the humour in this visual novel!

The humour was great, bunch of unexpected moments and wonderful characters and speeches

100% recommend

pls do more pls

Luc1f3rB0b

should be more explicit that its a comic and not a game in any way that one can play it. one merely clicks through it to unfold a game like experience, where its as if your watching a raunchy game being played for lulz. 1 out of 10 starz.

empty

it's mainly dead baby, drug, and alcohol jokes

so not really comedy, more like 12 yr old edge. randumb studios is definitely capable of good games, but this one just didn't hit.

Custodis
Custodis

This was a very very silly 15 minutes spent, but I enjoyed it. Language was a little much at times but the jokes were funny and topical (for when this was released). I'd like to see more in this vein in the future from Randumb, but if I'm being totally 100% completely honest with myself, I feel like The Test and The Test: Hypothesis Rising are the real meat and potatoes they have to offer people. That being said, I'm all for more silly fun distractions when you folks get the chance! Maybe episodic stories similar to an anime but done in this style? I feel adult swim vibes in the best possible way.

Pitty Party
Pitty Party

Being an old school type whose humor is way too fucked up to have 'common' friends in this day and age, this is a very refreshing spin. Much appreciated to the devs and creators! Keep pushing out the good stuff.

And remember, it was Michael Jackson who was in the first Barney suit...

Krieger
Krieger

Really mostly just baby jokes, kinda funny but not worth the dollar, Wish it was just the smallest interactive and maybe a bit darker and not just edgy 12 year old jokes. Would not recommend definitely the black sheep of the franchise.

I'm unsure how this is rated so high. I'm glad I got this free in a bundle. Don't waste your time or money. There are much better games for the same price.

Oh my lord this was funny lol...
I'm surprised how much I enjoyed it to be honest.
It's short but well worth it for the laughs.
It's exactly as described. A sitcom like episode experience.
I hope you guys put out more of these. Thank you!

Having played Randumb Studios, this one on it's surface seemed much different as most of the others are horror themed. Fun little game - it's brief but definitely worth the price and you will get some laughs out of it if you aren't too dead inside.

I also suspect the game itself is a piece of a larger puzzle that I have yet to figure out but has me intrigued to no end. Recommend this and the other Randumb Studios games!

AGamer316
AGamer316

Honestly this "Game" is pretty bad. There's nothing to it, its just reading, no questions, nothing. At least as far as i made it as it was so bad i had to stop, even trying to skip ahead to get further did no good as things just continued poorly. There is the odd funny moment but that's it. I wouldn't even recommend playing this if you got it free as part of the bundle. The rest of the games are so cool and fun, this is not, Its just a few minutes you will never get back.
Now some seem to like it so give it a try if you must but only get it as part of the bundle because you do not want to miss out on good experiences like The Test.

It was too short! Some of the content was funny, but very random, and did not go anywhere. I like how it was not afraid to offend people. I think it needs more than just that though. I'm not sure if this can even be called a game. at best it is a very poorly animated cartoon, with no voices. some of it was pretty funny though. bought this in a bundle, I guess this is one of the fillers.

Not really a game per se, but it's still worth your time if you're into crude humor.

Anyone else shipping Kerry & Tom? No? Just me? Okay

AlphaOmega

It was a very quick erhm... newsletter, since even the continue button was without use.
The whole content lasted for 20 minutes. So why? And why not refund?
I urge to ask: why not?
It's cheap, worth a chuckle or two and doesn't even cost half a cup of coffee. Hopefully the devs will get to make bigger games, longer, not being RPGMaker. The writting is ok, could be better but it's still enjoyable
Personally, I'd like to get more news like those IRL. Make it on renpy or alike, add more content, more characters, spice up with other games parodies... not like their companies will give shit.

And also important: don't be a loser, don't ask a refund on this game.

While the game is very cheap and the message at the end is respectable, I still really can't recommend it. I finished this game in 16 minutes, and I personally barely got a chuckle out of it. I don't even think it can be called a game. It literally has no gameplay or decision-making at all. All you do is watch a few people try to make jokes while doing nothing but pressing spacebar to advance the dialogue. It can also be completed in 15~20 minutes, probably less if you're a fast reader - so there's not much to the volume of content you get either. Even as a standalone comedy film, it's all just too barebones and hit-or-miss to be enjoyable.

Overall, there's worse ways to spend your time and money, but this game isn't even close to being a good way either. Even though it's dirt cheap and is completed extremely quickly, it's still money and time better spent elsewhere in my opinion.

This is no game. For it to be a game, there should be options to actually change something.
It was howeverer a crazy way to spend some time. Some unexpected parts in it and considering its price, I think it is more than worth it.

Though I am quite sure that there wasn't meant to be rain in the basement. Then again, maybe it was. It is a crazy bit of work after all.

I don't know what I expected with this game, but it's definitely an amusing read, go ahead and give it a try, it's not that long, nor expensive so give it a go!

First, this is more of a visual comic book rather than a game...but that's not a bad thing 'cause sometimes, you just want a quick round of fun/funny without having to wrack your brain like a bunch of billiard balls to get to the payoff.
I personally like the brand of humor delivered here, but it's probably not for everyone just due to how some people can't take a joke and get butthurt over everything. (For those people, I'd just like to say that you can easily find some ice perfectly shaped to heal that butthurt, on the internet.)
Price is fine in my opinion--buy it on sale or not on sale if it looks like your cup of tea. What are you really losing at spending a dollar?

Not a game in any shape or form. No decisions are required at all, just manual input to advance the dialogue. I clicked through the entire thing hoping it might lead to something, but no.

Boring, incoherent and annoying. Tried way too hard to be edgy. I can enjoy dark humour but this wasn't even trying to say anything through jokes. It reads like a list of things the devs thought would offend people.

This game is pure storytelling and there are no choices to be made, with that being said.... This game is so screwed up. I found myself reading it out loud to my partner who had no idea what was going on, and I had no idea what was going on either. The stories are WILD and really take you on a roller coaster ride. The best part was seeing the MS Paint masterpieces. Thank you for this beautiful game.

lShadowdark

Okay, it WAS funny, but sadly too short for a RPG engine game (5 nights at fukboys was 5 times longer and free), but i will vote positive because i support the risk of making dark humor and that is why a bought it, so if you want a dark humor experience quite unique (i don't recall others of the same kind) and you got 2 hours to spare, then this is your game!

Nova
Nova

Less of a game, more of a very... VERY short visual novel... sort of? With crude humor that you'd expect from early 2000s Adult Swim. ...Which, y'know, if that's your cup of Joe? Then it's fine! ...I really only got this because I bought the whole pack of games to support the devs.

ScorpionWasp

SO unfunny and cringe. They say it's 15 minutes long and I still couldn't finish it. I'm not AT ALL easily offended, mind, but this is like watching a 12 years old's attempt at comedy.

Lyrana7

Not even a game. Just watching people talk shit and trying to make it funny. I love randumb games, but this one isn't even a game at all. This was ridiculous. I wish i had played it when i bought it so i could get a refund.

Recommended if you're bored for 15 minutes and want to kill time I guess.

This game is fucking weird man.

I had a couple of chuckles, but some things weren't really funny in the sense they were boring. Some things that were meant to be were offensive were pretty mild tbh.

I loved the stunning artwork on Microsoft Paint featured in this game - truly inspirational.
And how dare you disrespect Steve Irwin mate, as an Aussie - that is a sin!! /s

Amazing game! Definitely would recommend, Ignore the hate comments. Yes its short, But it doesn't have to be. You can play as many times as you like AND go as slowly (or fast) as you like!! Plus it gives a great laugh for you and your friends and its really cheap! Look forward to seeing more from you guys in the future!
Thanks

For the easily offended: Give this experience a try. (and also pull that stick out your bum).

For the not so easily offended: Be sure to recommend this experience easily offended, (They need this.) Also give it a try yourself, with an 'adult' beverage or other FUN substance of your preference.

Dredd932

Completely honest this game is only moderately funny but all in all I got some pretty solid laughs out of it as well, this game keeps getting tons of hate in the review section and to anyone who truly despises this game GET A REFUND! Its short its sweet and if you think its worth a dollar for a chuckle or two get it, if you really don't like this game why spend more time writing a nasty review when at the end of the day you maybe lost 20 minutes of your day?

Plus I enjoyed the message at the end and I believe that most anybody who hates this game probably needed to hear it in the first place...

Gear8888
Gear8888

In all the other games you say that you read every comment. I don't know if you still need or want the help but I would be happy to throw my hat in the ring.

I thought it was pretty funny, sure its not really a game but if you like messed up humor it was a great read. Some people take themselves too seriously and consider their time wasted but bah humbug to them. For under a dollar this was a great few minutes of some messed up jokes. I laughed a good bit and I would be willing to bet most people with a military sense humor will probably like it too.

SharkInASuit
SharkInASuit

Naked News is astonishingly terrible. It is a lazy RPG maker game with the most pedestrian adult animation shock humor with absolutely no cleverness or setup behind any of the jokes. I didn't laugh a single time and it was far too short to make an actual meaningful point like The Test series. This is one of the most hateable games I've ever played and no one should ever play it.

Astonishingly stupid. I say that as someone who is a fan of this studio in general. I can deal with crass, vulgar, tasteless humor, but it needs to actually be funny. This isn't. It's also not a game. Check out their other titles, but skip this one. Total waste of a dollar.

or will.... i'm procrastinatiing. also fuck this key board all the keys are sjit and i can barely do a thing without the keys not doing anything or doing too much. sorry for all the typos and i look forward to chasing demons!!!
