๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ COUCH GUY — The Most Productive Game About Doing Nothing

You are Couch Guy. You live on a couch. Your friends think you have potential. They are wrong.

THE STORY

One day you woke up. That was already more than expected. Now somehow you have 18 rooms to explore, a yard to mow, a mad scientist next door, a pastry chef who cannot stop farting, a Gordon Ramsay wannabe in your kitchen who judges every single thing you cook, and a city street outside your plaza that you absolutely did not ask for.

All you wanted was to sit on the couch.

FEATURES

๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ 18 fully explorable rooms — living room, kitchen, basement, attic, greenhouse, laundry room, plaza, city streets, Zoe's Pastry Shop, and more. Each one has secrets, items, and at least one person judging you.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿณ Chad the Chef — lives in your kitchen uninvited. Has THREE Michelin stars. Will absolutely lose his mind if you cook a newspaper. Or a hotdog. Or pretty much anything you bring him.

๐Ÿ‘ฉ Zoe's Pastry Shop — Zoe runs a beautiful boutique pastry shop in the city plaza. She sells lava cake, strawberry tart, and rose lattes. She also farts every 10 seconds. Loudly. She blames the pastries.

๐Ÿง” Gerald — just vibes. Mysterious. Has a monocle. Will follow you around if you ask nicely.

๐Ÿก Dave — your neighbour. His shed is broken. His fence needs fixing. His wife Linda has opinions about everything. Set off a firework in his garden and witness a complete psychological breakdown in real time.

๐Ÿ”ฌ Edward the Mad Scientist — lives in a glass greenhouse. Waters plants. Studies coins. Absolutely unhinged. If you bring him a strange coin from the city street he will identify a 1987 mint error worth $150 while visibly vibrating with excitement.

๐Ÿ’จ The fart system — fully functional. Press F. Watch everyone in the room react. Fart in the pool for a special goal. Fart near Gerald. Fart everywhere. You have been given this power. Use it.

๐Ÿ’ฉ The poop system — we built a poop system. It has physics. It has sound effects. It has a squat animation. We are not sorry.

๐ŸŽต 24 original songs on the in-game jukebox — rock, hip hop, trap, sad piano, power ballads. One secret song unlocks after completing 50 missions. It goes hard.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ A whole city — walk through the plaza, past Zoe's boutique, all the way to the city street lined with glass skyscrapers. Find a suspicious coin on the ground. Wonder how you got here.

๐ŸŒ€ Laundry mechanics — your clothes get progressively dirtier over 10 real minutes. By minute 10 Couch Guy looks like he fell into a bin. Go to the laundry room and press C to fix it.

๐ŸŽธ Axel — the rock star who lives in your music studio for some reason. Has merch. Thinks everything is sick.

๐Ÿ€ There is a rat quest — Chad is involved. A steak is involved. It gets dark.
