a Museum of Dubious Splendors

About

a Museum of Dubious Splendors lets you wander a cluttered archive where ordinary items have been twisted into absurd historical artifacts. Studio Oleomingus builds a lighthearted narrative around mismatched objects like rubber chickens and broken teapots, each paired with dryly written backstories. The gameplay loops around clicking through exhibits, reading captions, and piecing together a fragmented world. No puzzles or goals, just a slow stroll through a cabinet of curiosities. The game’s charm lies in its deadpan humor and minimalist visuals. Hand-drawn illustrations give each object a quirky personality while the text leans into playful absurdity. Though short, it lingers in the mind with its sly commentary on how stories stick to things. A quiet 2017 release, it’s grown a small but devoted following among fans of offbeat storytelling.
