Tuulipuku-Tauno Darrassa [Bilingual: Finnish and English] [MAGS]

[WHAM]

My MAGS entry for the June 2025 contest: Tuulipuku-Tauno Darrassa  (Windbreaker-Willy has a Hangover)

https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/play/game/2872-tuulipuku-tauno-darrassa/

This game aims to showcase what it feels like to be Finnish, up to and including how difficult even the most simple activities in life can feel when you're hungover, exhausted, confused and in pain. Help the protagonist regain control of his life by brewing a cup of coffee. This should be a simple task, right? What even could be complicated about it...?





Key features include:

• Really annoying-to-use doors (though there may be a trick to making Tauno more capable of dealing with them for a while)
• Authentic Finnish ambience
• Bilingual: all text displayed in both Finnish and English
• 640x360 resolution: hand drawn ultra high-definition graphics
• A secret bird

Warning: contains mild nudity in the form of hairy legs and thighs (no, you can't see Willy's willy).

What is it about Finnish humour? I had a great time playing this, reliving the Kaurismäki movies in my head in the process.

I also solved a puzzle in a totally unexpected way. (The old lady in the queue.)

Spoiler

My son called for me and I left the game to make him a sandwich, and when I came back, it was suddenly my turn in line.

Recommended play, especially for other Nordics familiar with the tropes of being Finnish. Or for people who want to find out.

In a way, I'd say you solved the puzzle precisely as intended, and hopefully got yourself a snack while you were at it!
