Drink Beer Neglect Family

Escape Your Problems in This Retro Platformer

Tired of the daily grind and family pressures? Step into a uniquely cathartic arcade experience where your only objective is to drink to forget. Navigate a melancholic father's life in this 2D retro-styled platformer, where each beer offers a temporary escape but slowly unravels the life you're trying to ignore. The core loop is simple, yet profoundly engaging: drink to progress, but avoid your family at all costs to keep the fragile peace alive.

Core Gameplay & Evolving Challenges

This platformer features deliberately repetitive environments with fixed platforms, ladders, and bridges, focusing your attention on the only elements that change: the randomized spawn locations of beer bottles and the increasingly unpredictable appearances of your family members. Each playthrough becomes a tense game of risk and reward. Collect beers to unlock brief, poignant messages about your deteriorating home life, revealing a narrative where your actions have direct, tragic consequences.

• Dynamic Family AI & Permadeath: Touch any family member and your run ends instantly. Their patrol patterns and numbers increase as you consume more beer, creating a challenging avoidance system.
• Unlockable Narrative Fragments: Each beer collected reveals a new story snippet, detailing consequences like your son skipping school or your wife's deepening depression.
• Progressive Difficulty Scaling: The game world becomes objectively harder as you drink; more beer directly leads to more family members spawning on the map, demanding sharper reflexes.

The retro pixel-art aesthetic contrasts with the mature, narrative-driven premise, creating an experience that is both simple to learn and complex in its emotional impact. While the core mechanics are straightforward, the emergent storytelling—where your success at drinking directly fuels your family's decline—provides a stark, original, and compelling reason to keep playing.
