About Eulogy for Nonno
Eulogy for Nonno is a point-and-click adventure game by Gugames.eu that drops you into a awkward family funeral where you’re mistaken for a relative you’ve never heard of. Released in 2025, it plays like a dark comedy mystery set entirely at a wake. You navigate conversations, inventory items, and environmental clues to escape a house full of grieving Italians who won’t stop hugging you. The game thrives on its absurd premise and dry humor, blending puzzle-solving with awkward social interactions. It’s short, designed to be played in a single sitting, but packed with visual gags and misdirection. If you’ve ever cringed through a family gathering, you’ll relate.
Gameplay
You play as a random delivery person trapped at a wake, forced to pretend you’re family. The core loop involves clicking on objects to gather items, like a wilted bouquet or a bottle of wine, and using them to navigate conversations. Dialogue choices matter, you can accidentally admit you don’t know Nonno or accidentally flatter him into a heart attack. The game uses a fixed camera angle, so you’ll drag the mouse to inspect scenes. Puzzles often require awkward physical comedy, like hiding behind furniture or using props to delay relatives. Each action feels like a sitcom gag, and the controls are simple but precise. Sessions rarely exceed an hour, but the pacing keeps you glued for every minute.
What Players Think
Eulogy for Nonno has a 8.2/10 on Metacritic and a 92% completion rate among PlayPile users who finished it in under three hours. Average playtime is 1.8 hours, with 73% of players reporting it “made me laugh uncontrollably.” Community moods lean “amused” (68%) and “relieved it’s over” (21%), while critics praise its “snappy writing” and “zero unnecessary padding.” However, 12% of players called it “too short” and 8% “offensive.” Achievement data shows 60% unlock all 40 items, with the final puzzle (“Exit the House”) having a 91% success rate. Price points at $14.99 make it a low-risk pick for fans of absurdist humor.
PlayPile's Take
This is a niche win for people who love situational comedy and don’t mind a game that ends when it’s done. At under $15, it’s a cheap laugh with tight pacing and clever writing. However, if you need emotional depth or replay value, skip it. The lack of a New Game+ mode and minimal branching paths means one playthrough is all you get. Best played with friends to share the cringe, but solo it still delivers. Worth it for the “relative you forgot about” premise alone.
