Hold Your Honk

The year is 2082. In the glorious yet grim United Provinces of Mexicandamerica (UPM), laughter is illegal. Why? Because the former dictator died of a hysterical fit after someone misspelled duty as dudy on a peace treaty with Scandanasia. Tragic. Historic. Unforgivable.

Now, under the watch of his overly serious son, all humour has been criminalised. Comedians, clowns, and casual chucklers are shipped off to “Chuckle Rehabilitation Centres.”

You’re one of the last free jesters—on a simple trip to buy ingredients for your grandma’s famous hooty hot pot. But tonight, the joke’s on you.

Expect:

• Stealth with slapstick – hide, sneak, and sabotage

• Absurd dystopia – dead serious about no jokes

• Honour your heritage – comedy is in your blood

• Get in, get the goods, get out – or get caught trying

Controls:
