Still Joking is a short, narrative-driven indie game that blends dark humor with introspective storytelling. You step into the life of a struggling stand-up comedian trying to navigate personal doubts, failed relationships, and the pressure to keep making people laugh. The game explores the emotional cost of humor, asking what happens when jokes become a shield rather than a joy.
Gameplay focuses on choice-driven dialogue, timing-based interactions, and reflective moments rather than traditional challenges. Each decision influences how conversations unfold on and off the stage, shaping the protagonist’s confidence, relationships, and sense of identity. The minimalist presentation keeps the focus on writing, tone, and emotional impact, allowing the story to unfold in an intimate and personal way.
With its sharp writing, relatable themes, and subtle visual style, Still Joking resonates with players who enjoy narrative games about real human struggles. It’s not about winning or losing, but about understanding vulnerability, self-expression, and the complicated relationship between pain and laughter. A thoughtful experience that lingers after the final punchline.
