Video: GNILLEY Says It's OK To Scream

I tried, really really hard to not laugh the entire time this video was playing. I failed. Lots. As I'm sure most everyone is aware by now I'm a massive fan of indie gaming. I'm a bit of a tool like that. Needless to say when a game is silly, even if it's not particularly playable, I find it very very amusing. GNILLEY is one of these titles.

Originally designed to be a game about pitch and colo(u)r, the game rapidly regressed into something more primal. Namely,the game is basically about screaming at your PC until things die. As I am writting this article a little before midnight, and I do have a sleeping roommate, I am as of yet not able to play the game. The video alone had me stifling my snickers. You can download the game here. Remember, a mic is required.
