My Name is Mayo

About

My Name is Mayo is a click-driven simulation game where you spend most of your time tapping a jar of mayonnaise. The mechanics revolve around simple button mashing to progress through a loosely connected series of scenarios. Between clicks you'll watch short animations and read snippets of absurd dialogue that tie together the game's minimal narrative. The interface is intentionally goofy with exaggerated sound effects for each tap. The game's charm comes from its deadpan humor and commitment to its ridiculous premise. Released in 2016 it maintains a 72% on Metacritic from critics who appreciated its lighthearted approach. Most players finish in under two hours though some return for the novelty of its quirky collectibles. Available on PS4 PC Switch and Vita it's a brief but oddly satisfying experience that leans into its niche humor without taking itself seriously.
