Just Read the Instructions

About

Just Read the Instructions is a chaotic first-person shooter built around absurdity and survival. You and up to three friends fight through waves of enemies in a glitchy simulation while cryptic instructions pop up, demanding you do things like "run in circles" or "throw your gun." Weapons degrade, objectives shift, and the only constant is the need to adapt. Each mission escalates with more ridiculous tasks as a malfunctioning AI warps the environment. It plays like a stress test for your sanity, blending frantic shooting with nonsense commands that force you to question every choice. What stands out is the relentless, unpredictable rhythm. With no health bars or traditional progression, the focus is on reacting to whatever absurdity comes next. Early access reviews highlight the co-op camaraderie as friends argue over instructions while getting swarmed by robots. The PC release on April 16, 2024, promises a recipe of stress, humor, and the weird satisfaction of surviving when nothing makes sense.
