The latest game on Worst Game On Steam is Code:29 and it's an absolute mess. However to be fair it was a good laugh, but for all the wrong reasons.
As far as the series goes, this is definitely the worst game on steam so far but only god knows what we'll find next.
I'm WickedWiz from the What Went Wrong series coming at you with some of the most cursed indie games on Steam. This new series is for games that are so bad, that they're actually good. Worst Game On Steam, is a question that hopefully turns out to be false each time. These are games that won't fit the longer form What Went Wrong videos. - Hry
I like the sign that says *"suses"* instead of "buses"
Sums the game up pretty well
Oh it's sus all right.
And "You dead"
Suses _Internations_
Sussy baka
I love how on the OI!, they colored the keys using the paint can in MS paint but didn't bother filling in the letters. And it looks like they accidently got some orange on the shift key. I love it.
Actually, it looks like they used a paint bucket tool in a "real" graphic editor (like GIMP or Photoshop) because if it was filled in MS Pain, it would have those weird white borders around the keys.
But yeah, they still didn't bother to fill the holes in the letters.
My dumbass brain almost got an aneurysm reading this lmao
@@weirdyoutubechannels no
@@UltimatePerfection i know, but MS paint makes it sound even jankier. They had options and chose to make it look the worst
@@mycookiehasnoname lmfao same
I like to imagine the dev kept losing to the military guys, so they changed it so their guns aim to the right, which also made the player's gun aim to the right somehow.
I think they hard set the bullet fire target, to the TPS camera, then hard coded it to fire from FPS camera when you switch to FPS perspective.
But the dev decided they like FPS mode more so changed the start view to FPS, But the fire position was still TPS by default
Also, if you want to make games, this is a pretty common way to do it when learning.
But you are better off moving the camera and have a FPS view model attached to the camera that toggles to be visible, in FPS mode. It requires less resources and is easier to manage
@Hydin yea I think only a few games every really should use the whole “world player model is also your first person view model” and only a few games ever got it right (ArmA 3 being the one that comes to mind) because when not done right it leads to the most janky feeling ever, but when done right it can really add a whole layer of immersion making you feel physically in the game world
I'm impressed that the torn clothes mechanic is properly implemented, and that your character does not flash naked every time you take damage or shoot or something like that. I can see where the priorities of the development went, lol.
It’s not that difficult. All you’d have to do is have a mask shader shaped like a noise function that’s controlled by a single floating point value, and simply add to/subtract from that value the amount of damage you’ve taken. Divided by 100, assuming a 100-point HP system and a 0-1 range intensity value for the shader
I think. I haven’t toyed with this kind of thing specifically but I have played with similar things. So… don’t quote me on any of this lol
@@epsilonthedragon1249 nerd
Kancolle!!!!
Most bad games on Steam are unironically because their trying to appeal to the pervert audience.
I think they built the game around that concept.
I'm honestly amazed they paid the 100 steam fee to even put this up. I don't know how they thought they'd recuperate that with sales of this.
Alot of dev don’t actually care about making back the money, they just want to be on steam so someone may buy it and play it.
Since other stores are unlikely to be discovered
The main character has boobs and loses clothes. I am *sure* they made back the 100 dollaridoos.
I have a theory, when you put a game on steam they will give you 5000 keys, no questions asked. I think the devs just sell these to key seller websites for like 10c a pop or something, that way theyd make 400$ and lets be honest, this game did not take 400$ worth of labour
@@katiequeen7225 Interesting theory. Could very well be the case as I don't have any real idea how steam handles "free" keys requested by the devs.
The chihuahuas rigid walking animations as it floats towards you is the best part of the game
I understood OI! Back in the day "settings" or "options" were called "the I/O menu", as in input/output, and sometimes the menu just said IO.
So the programmer is dyslexic...
I thought it stood for 'operator info' when I saw it
That sounds vaguely familiar to me, was that a thing for mobile games on old phones?
@@molacarthy9173 more like DOS games. Setting the right keybinds and setting up type and addresses for the audio device.
I do have to wonder sometimes if these types of games are made and sold by first time solo dev that overestimated their skills and underestimated how hard making a game is, or just straight up scammers or made to launder money
It also reminded me of Steam’s Greenlight era, and that it’s replacement Steam Direct were supposedly made to fixed the problem of asset flippers from flooding the store
I would assume that most are scams, and some are made by genuine devs in over their heads.
Probably tainted by 2018 era Jim Sterling, and (at the time) his coverage on games farted out onto Greenlight (iirc his/her words).
I think mostly people trying to make a qui k buck by throwing games out onto the store, sometimes to just throw keys out to card farming bots, agaik this offsets the cost of steam direct . And obviously it tries to lure in the occasional thirsty boy with the clothing damage thing.
Haha well on end you have that super low budget Canadian RPG that YMS played, it's extremely janky and crap but has a pretty ambitious combat system and lore, they're like 20 bucks but he seems to at least be passionate..? Uh, skylight free-range.
..then there's those elder scrolls ripoff games that were ALWAYS on PS store sales, very blatantly a scam, like NFT level of blatant ripoff hahah, i wish i remembered the name, it's been sitting on the PS store for years and i have no clue who would ever buy it, even for steam it's a low bar
@@Kralledd You can't farm cards like that anymore, it's been like that for few years now. All new releases have steam cards disabled (unless you're publishing with a known publisher / are a known developer ) and valve will enable the card drops only after you reach certain milestones. Valve is secretive about which parameters they are, but I'm confident the main one is the revenue. Even so, people would still have to buy those cards in large numbers to make a profit, something that's not going to happen with these types of products. In my opinion this is just a school project or a kid trying to be an indie developer.
This is basically how my walking dead survival instinct play through went. I went around every corner expecting a horde to be there until I figured out no npcs or items spawned in
when i played that game after it came out (i was a huge walking dead fan and didn't know any better at the time), i remember distinctly this one level in a trainyard where a horde of zombies were running around, and i ended up clearing the entire area because i discovered that the AI simply makes them follow you directly, and they don't have any pathfinding intelligence at all, they just run directly at you regardless of what's in their way.
Long story short, I ended up hiding in a train car as each of them ran up to it one at a time and literally hitting them through the wall when their models would occasionally clip through the model. What was supposed to be a hard stealth section ended up just being me killing every single enemy one at a time as they glitched through the wall.
Holy crap that zombie at 0:04 has an absolute dumptruck

The bulbous UI, limited menu engagement, sparse open landscape with fog, and the drag to aim SCREAM "Android game ripped to PC" to me.
The drag to aim was only a glitch though.
That's not how you aim on phone games 😂
Yep, the moment she started getting clothing damage, I knew where that was headed.
And that's totally not because I've played other games like that, of course.
its where the extra $5 in price came from
hold on now pardner, what do you mean "because i've played other games like that?"
Parasites eve… I know we all wanted third birthday to be good.😢
I mean, the feature can have its purpose. Besides the obvious eye candy, it could also be used as some sort of health indicator. But even then, going all the way is not the way to go. Usually it stops at some revealing underwear or something like that. Because it you want to make that kind of game, why bother with the whole questing and shooting and stuff.
That was a pain to witness. Must have been hell to play.
This is what happens when you have the focus and drive to learn how to use an engine but also no imagination or pride.
That aim discrepancy looks like it's trying to aim from the over-the-shoulder cam despite being in third person, which is both an easy mistake to make _and_ an easy mistake to catch and fix.
Yeah, a lot of these horrible games would have been infinitely better if the developers spent the time playtesting their products. As a professional software developer I sometimes talk to hobbyist and beginner developers who are intimidated by the (relatively) bug-free code more experienced developers write. I always tell them that we don't necessarily write better code; the difference is that we're testing it so we can fix the bugs. This is how I spot inexperienced colleagues; they never test. That's the difference.
15:05
I think it's a completely rational and realistic feature that more games should have.
Torn clothes? I'm honestly kind of with you there. Absolutely nude though? Not so much.
@@HolyApplebutter Wasn't there a mechanic like that in one of the Alone in the Dark remake games, but it ended up looking like someone had put bits of raw bacon on the main character's clothes?
People already get demonetized for making Dead Island 2 videos because of how intense the gore is, do you really think CZcams would wanna let this slide?
I want this in a Duke Nukem game
10:06 enemy or not, he clearly didn't want to be there in the game. Understandable.
The aim thing I think I know why it's happening. The Dev initialised the aim as third person but the perspective as first (not sure why and really they should have some kind of way to make sure they are aligned from initialisation). Anyway when you swap modes it sets the value correctly in the code that handles switching to the right aim to match the view.
This is probably correct or at least it makes sense, I was so confused as to why it was like that but yeah I doubt any real testing or quality assurance was done in the whole process of development
i think "OI" is supposed to stand for "output input" maybe? usually it would be "IO" ("input output") though...
On the one hand, it only shows input. But on the other hand, the game was clearly devoid of any kind on though so maybe?
Man, this game was absolute CZcams
True, but WickedWiz was so CZcams that he made up for it.
Yeah, the keybinds picture at 1:14 is really indicative of how CZcams it is. Although any screenshot from the game would also serve the purpose lol
You are so right, the aiming mechanics for me just shows how CZcams it truly is.
Somebody watches RTGame I see.
@@Nightweaver1 it's also just spreading through the internet. Such a CZcams moment
Holy shit, two Wicked Wiz videos in two or three days. I'm a lucky man.
I've heard that to win this game you have to press Alt+F4 for instant victory.
there's also an alternate ending if you hold the power button for 10 seconds
They say you get the secret ending if you pull out the cord of your PC.
Looks pretty good, for a game developed with one free hand
11:46 "Is there any chance she'll ever be human again?"
No, I don't think she will anymore at this point
This is the type of game I would love to talk to the developer about it
Geez, imagine a YT channel about interviewing crappy games' devs ! :o
That could be so entertaining ! Or scary, depends on the devs.
The MC's model is too good for this game.
most likely stolen from somewhere
The "antenna" of the creature are scaled down legs from the other model (09:06). All of the strange spikes on the models faces are where the texture/skin hasn't been correctly attached to the bones (in this case the skull). Incorrectly scaled (probably purchased) assets or misunderstanding the worldscale in the modelling program. Good grief!! :D
"A fat one"
"Whatareyouonabout?"
Lmao.
Oh my god, the 1st person mode had the bullet exit point positioned at the 3rd person point...
Possible that the 1st person mode was an afterthought they chucked in for an extra selling point
Totally here for the plot 😳
The reason steam VR pops up on these games is so that the developer can use the tracking cameras to spy on you.
See, I don’t even know if this is a joke or not
the statist spooks are trying to watch boys discover themselves
@@NatLaS A tracking "camera" isn't really a camera
Depends what the game was made in. Unreal engine for example has the VR plugins enabled by default meaning that if you launch a game with default plugin settings it also automatically launches VR. Wouldnt be surprised if thats whats going on here
@@GoddessLunaMoon this needs more upvotes! So annoying to turn it off everytime i create a new Unreal project ._.
This makes me think... Slight clothing damage making your character look more raggedy over time could be kind of an interesting mechanic in terms of being another way to show your character's damage having actual effects on them without punishing the player for failure by making it harder to succeed (by handicapping the character in accordance with their injuries)... but obviously, it would have to be thought through with healing mechanics (healing fixing your clothes is immersion breaking, but it becomes less of an indicator of health otherwise), and it's also more likely to be implemented by people who don't care about that as much as "woman end up naked lol".
...now I kind of wanna see a game where a character's power comes from their outfit, but as the outfit gets raggedier, they get weaker, and medkits are replaced with sewing kits.
how glitchy do you want your game to be
this game: YES
We've got AI generated art, AI generated writing... what if these sorts of things are AI generated video games?
Wonder where they got the character model from.
Anyone else notice the hand clenching animation looks like it’s stolen out of soldier of fortune 2? What a weird similarity.
Thanks for giving a 12 year old the opportunity to take his gf out for ice cream. 😂
Oof. Nice one👌
God bless you with these uploads. Just incredible. Honestly I’d watch any old gameplay you’d put out because you find true gems
Code:29 already? But happened during Code:1 to Code:28?
OI, what about Code:0 (Code:Zero)?
this isn't a game, this is a proof of concept at best
So when I first started using autocad I would just design something and not really worry about the actual dimensions of it. Obviously this becomes an issue when importing those files for any actual use, I have a feeling that these assets were all either designed that way or just bought from an asset store and dimensions never changed lol
Was on your channel about 20 mins ago looking for a new video. Glad I came back!
What a youtube game. But Wiz, the absolute CZcams, managed to still make it very entertaining!
Such a typical CZcams comment from a total CZcams
So the reason why the steamvr thing might've popped out is because when you import it into unity from the unity asset store, it basically installs itself in your project and starts steamvr on play by default no matter what, even if you don't use it in a scene
I feel like most of the games that have actual time and care put into them never get released due to burnout, and these are the only ones that get put out there.

Love these vids and your what went wrong series, keep it up wiz
Okay you gotta hand it to the person behind this mess that de-clothing is a hilariously clever mechanic.
Minor nitpick: Doors are actually super hard to make right. Most of games try not to make doors at all if not necessary
Oh that's very interesting! Why is that?
@@Siegmernes Doors can be opened slowly or fast. Doors should or should not close on their own. Doors should or should not stop bullets. They require tons of animations for opening and closing them in different manner.
Doors act super strange in physics when something blocks them. All NPCs in the are need to know how to interact with them and how not to interact with them.
They usually need to open both sides because players don't like stepping back for them to open. You have to make sure they can open both sides.
Players hate when they get stopped by doors so you want to have some button to cancel going through door or make enemies not target you for a bit or give players invincibility frames, but not after animation ends.
If anything goes wrong players instantly notice it. We are used to doors. We use them every day. We know what doors are and what they are not
@@Siegmernes Good vid on doors:
czcams.com/video/AYEWsLdLmcc/video.html
@@itsQuilow a game that I think does doors really well is Amnesia.
Dude you are a hero. Takeing the time to play these abominations, so we dont have to. Thank you! ❤
Its crazy how this dev could get first person perspective body to work but Bethesda cant lmao
I think it's more so Bethesda was too lazy to try
They meant you need a 64 bit OS. 32 bit Windows still exists
Anyway, that OI menu gives me major graphic design is my passion vibes
And he meant they didn't include a RAM or GPU reuirement
As an Aussie when I see "OI" I want to yell AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! OI OI OI!
What's baffling about this is that it was clearly more work an an asset flip, and they put in effort into some parts, but left tons of extremely obvious and glaring issues that make their effort pointless. Why not just make an asset flip? Why not fix the extremely obvious problems if they were going to put effort into those things? Makes no sense
feels like they tried some overambitious project, implemented one and a half systems, then said screw it and released.
This game was clearly just about "naked woman make me happy in pants" it's the same story with all these games
@@Dovah_Slayer If that's the case, then the game pretty much rewards you for failing, since you've got to be close to death to be naked. Maybe that's why they left so many glaring issues. It would be tricky to come up with a mechanic where playing well makes you lose your clothing, but I think it would be interesting to see.
I love these videos so much, Wiz.
the dedication to add the ability to look down and see the character's boobs is almost impressive.
you have to add a new camera and fiddle with a bunch of shit to get that working.
unless it just came with the asset pack....
I mean, Jurassic Park: Trespasser already has that "looking down at the breasts" part. So... yeah
As someone who knows things about games, I can confirm that military camps have things in them
Yes!!! Waited forever for your video today ❤️
This game gave me back some far memories of a weird game called Nether, that may be something around the kind of games wickedwiz might want to check out
Multiple choices are the mutations you pick from. Multiple endings are either dying or beating the game. Dev didn't lie. He made a great game.
Total Biscuit vibes, love the channel.
When you got to the camp, I guess you could say, things got "in tents."

I would love to find the asset the guy downloaded from the unity/unreal store lmao
I just spent 5 minutes scrolling through both the Unreal and Unity asset stores and can say at least this much:
It's not a free asset, though one (Unreal Asset Store, "Anime Sci-Fi AmeliB48") I randomly stumbled across does seem to come close ish
I don't quite believe he made the model himself, but maybe he did, if so, pretty decent work, if not, how much did you pay? haha
2:19 Wicked Wiz cut away from this instruction a bit too fast for you to read it, so here it is for "clarity":
"By the way, because of radiation, in those who leave some variation, but three foot traveler will help you to get rid of the obstacles."
these faces after soldiers die make some phobia in me trigger and i feel itchy everywhere
i think your aim messed up because you needed to "zero" it after the little hiccup where the cursor wouldnt aim. i think 7 perspectives will "zero" your cursor. shouldnt have to worry about either of those things. but then it wouldnt be worst game night would it ? love this series !!
I had to stop the video several times because I was laughing too hard out of sheer confusion. This game. What on *earth* did I just watch?!

Which is: _pocket money for Code:29 dev_
You should try a game I found on steam a while back called Survival Zombies: The Inverted Evolution. It's a kind of horde shooter that has janky base building for some reason. The 'studio' that made it also made Dinosaur Hunt, which is essentially the same game with the zombie assets swapped out for dinosaurs. they also made Machine hunt, which is the same. I'll always remember it because I got the dinosaur hunt mega bundle (from the Survival Zombies: The inverted Evolution store page) which includes literally everything the dev has made for £5. When I posted in the Steam forum about the multiplayer not working he asked me how to fix it because he didn't know.
The game itself is certainly a thing, a thing that exists.
I did not expect this game being made with unreal. I have now so many questions.
Jesus christ I can't get over how bad that reload animation is. Like they tried as hard as possible to make it cover the EXACT middle of the screen. The only thing worse would be if they just brought the whole gun in front of your face so you were functionally blind for a few seconds
God i feel the pain, this 16:13 happend to me alot when I was starting toying with unity.
It's funny cause this game was most likely made with unreal engine that literally has this thing called timelines for tweening and animating things that's ABSOLUTELY moron proof
I have no damn clue how they managed to mess this up
14:40 bro was fighting spiderman
This reminds me of the modus operandi of Jason Welge, Panzer Game Studios of Time Rammslide infamy years ago. I wonder…

Agreed - it's perfect.
I don't see a problem here.
So when is the battle-pass coming out?
This makes me feel better about making my game $5. Now I know what to compare it to.
I think... the fact that "D" on "OI" wasn't filled properly is just a cherry on top.
in all fairness they simulated trying to shoot in first and third person simultaneously pretty well i think
10:12 I tried this mess of a program and that enemy for some unknown reason is a zombie superman, I'm not joking.
Zombie superman will land randomly somewhere on the map, I later found him out side of the military base on one play through after his take off from the power station cooling tower. He always starts from that point. Once you find him again he can be killed but will take a good few shots to take him down.
I just get the feeling that the dev threw everything they could think off into their program (I refuse to call it a game) and once they ran out ideas or more likely assets that they had on hand, they called it done and put it out on steam.
lol I just finished the other three videos in this series, what good timing!
How was that JimSterling show called where he went trough Steam Assetflips/Shovelware? W-Wizard videos are an amazing sequel to that series of videos.
