Where the ordinary and the hard-to-believe meet in a gutter, the population of "The Darb" simply call it "home". Gang violence, poverty, and substance abuse leave Darby rife with drifters, murderers, and cash maniacs whose sole purpose in life is finding the next high or die trying. The town of the same name exists as a swollen, caustic juxtaposition of
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
and reruns of
Twin Peaks
gestating in the sweltering heat of Southern Florida.
The optimistically named Orange Grove Houses, a dilapidated flop house of an apartment building where the only thing more parasitic than the rats and roaches are the residents, squats obscenely at the end of a long abandoned housing development. A lone drug pusher hawks his wares to sun-deprived addicts when he's not falling prey to his own stock. After an especially odd trip, he finds himself tangled in a devil's weave of crime and hallucinations in halls that even God has given up on.
Inspired by black comedy
Trash Humpers
and VHS slashers like
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Cookies
is an obscene PSX-coated blend of Satanic cults, meth-dealing clowns and online torture chambers, all under the same backwards-ass roof.
NOTE:
This game features heavy use of camera filters/effects to simulate the video quality of a VHS tape, which may be triggering to photosensitive players.
I strongly suggest tweaking the game's visual settings to suit your monitor's resolution upon startup, as the game may be too grainy/blurry depending on your screen size.
