I eventually got a perfect customized sauna experience, but I feel a deep seated regret that I did not eat the Cupcake.

Porpentine's terrific. Can you imagine what would happen if some crazy A-list publisher gave her an actual budget? It'd make System Shock look like The Sims, with tons of added glitch art.

THE IRONY IS THAT YOU CANNOT AFFORD REPTILES, DESPITE YOUR PROXIMITY TO A REASONABLY PRICED REPTILE SOURCE.
That was the point at which I realized this game is TOTALLY AWESOME

Maybe i'm just a cynical ass, but often times this doesn't actually produce anything that great with all kinds of artists. A lot of people like this might make something like this over the space of one day, or over the space of a year. If someone hands them money and says "produce a product in x amount of time" they might either wait until the very end and blast out something not very good, cap off something they didn't really get to finish, or just generally...
I don't know where i'm going with this, just that a lot of people who make stuff like this for the love of it do not necessarily flourish when handed money and deadlines. I'm with b1tr0t on this.

porpentine is pretty rad. Since kmz already mentioned Ultra Business Tycoon, allow me to mention Howling Dogs as also worth checking out.

I've been trying to find video games that my mom can play for a long time, but I sent her this one and she said that finally, I have sent her a game she can relate to, and I'm not sure what that says about her or about the game except that I apparently need to send her more things with huggable manta rays
