the Case of the Killing Joke

This is made for Global Game Jam 2024, the theme was "Make me laugh". So I made a game that makes me laugh. It's also a game about the philosophy of humor and what is "the funniest thing". At the very end you'll see my contribution to what could be the funniest joke of all time.

This is mostly a solo project. Programming and voice acting is all me, and writing is me with the help of a friend (putting in his name later if he wants to be associated with this train wreck lol)

NOTE: Game is about 5gb due to the intricate assets I used, as well as due to a lack of knowledge on how to make it more efficient.

Link to game (too large for itch) - 'add external file' didn't work :(
just unzip and start the .exe - it does take a solid 20secs to load at first, though
