Troglobytes games, Stupidi Pixel, and Tiny Pixel have revealed that Death Noodle Delivery, a severely nihilistic game about gig work, is coming to PS4, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X|S on July 31. Death Noodle Delivery on PC this past April. I reviewed it around launch and found it to be a hauntingly nihilistic and depressing game about the world’s decline in the face of endless crises and unchecked technological advancement. It takes the core premise of Paperboy and twists it to present its dark underbelly. It also ties in some thematically crude themes to hammer its points home. It’s distressingly effective. https://youtu.be/_N0DUhUsBcs?feature=shared You play as Jimmy, who is just trying to make ends meet in an uncaring world. He takes a job delivering noodles to people on the street, but each day brings more challenges as society quickly declines and his dignity as a human gets dragged across the pavement. The core gameplay in Death Noodle Delivery is a rather simplistic take on Paperboy, but most of the focus is on exploring Jimmy’s apartment block and talking to his neighbors. I mention this in my review, but if you just want to play Paperboy, then don’t bother. It is worth noting that one of my biggest complaints was the difficulty balancing, which has been addressed through multiple patches. If you’re up for an effective and pessimistic perspective on the world today, then definitely check it out. In fact, I hope that the console release means that more people will try it out. It’s something that should be experienced. Death Noodle Delivery is out now on PC. It releases for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch on July 31, 2024.
