Have You Played… Ptarmigeddon?The “P” is silent

The “P” is silent

It does sound, admittedly, like a game that shouldn’t exist. And despite having assured you it’s real, I must now complicate things and admit that ittechnicallyisn’t. Just think of it like a sort of Schrodinger’s Game, perhaps.

Ptarmigeddon, you see, was originally one of the thousand fictional video games I tweeted in 2016/2017, and then one of the hundred that I selected for “The 100 Best Video Games (That Never Existed), the book based on said tweets. So far, so not real. But then, Rebellion Developments, whose publishing arm produced the book, and whose concept artists illustrated it, decided to base their annual staff game jam on my list of fictional games, thus making several of them into paradoxes.
