Armed & Delirious

About

You play as Granny Crotony in a quirky point-and-click adventure where logic takes a backseat to absurdity. Your family’s cruel treatment of animals has come back to haunt them, the Great Rabbit, a former prisoner, has kidnapped them and stolen your prized cookbook. Now you must navigate a twisted world of bizarre characters and nonsensical puzzles to reclaim your family and recipes. The gameplay leans heavily into inventory-based problem solving, with a focus on timing and creative item use. The world feels chaotic but deliberate, with every scene dripping with dark humor and offbeat charm. The game’s standout is its distinctive claymation aesthetic, which gives it a tactile, handmade feel rare in 90s PC titles. Its surreal narrative and eccentric characters have earned it a cult following, though its difficulty curve and dated interface may frustrate modern players. With a release date of October 1997 and no online elements, this is a self-contained oddity best approached with humor and patience for its quirks.
