“3 out of 10”
tells the satirical story of a fictional New England game development studio struggling to make a game worthy of a review score higher than 3 out of 10. When Midge Potter shows up to interview for an animator position at Shovelworks Studios, she unknowingly walks into her first day on the job. Midge quickly discovers the day-to-day doldrums of game development include office-wide battle royales, caffeine-fueled dimension-hopping, and knife-wielding drones and that’s only Monday.
“As game developers ourselves, we wanted to celebrate this sometimes wacky industry we love in a way even non-gamers can appreciate,” Joe Mirabello, creative director at Terrible Posture Games, said in a statement. “To that end, our game industry satire has story, characters, jokes, and pacing informed by sitcom traditions. ‘3 out of 10’ has tremendous potential for multimedia, mainstream appeal, and we’re so excited that dj2 shares our long-term vision for it.”
3 Out Of 10 game comes to Nintendo Switch
Game developers are releasing what they are billing as the world’s first playable sitcom on Nintendo Switch.
3 Out Of 10 revolves around the misadventures of animator Midge Potter who works for a troubled game company that has yet to earn a review score higher than the titular figure.
According to the description, ‘Midge finds herself fending off shark-obsessed protestors, shuttling sacrificial interns back to the campus halls from whence they came, and stocking up on foam bullets for an office-wide battle royale. Small wonder the Shovelworks team can’t seem to finish their game. How are you supposed to get any work done with sentient mannequins and a flamethrower-obsessed character artist wreaking daily havoc?’
