Oh, I actually played that. I remember it was another one of those East European games that's both very buggy and badly translated.
Yeah I think it's Turkish, I am surprised you played it. This thread is full of masochistic players!
I can't even really complain - it was like $0.89 on Steam, which is why I bought it in the first place. From memory I kind of went on a cheap point-and-click binge and it just came ended up in the basket.

I also have no guilt about my pleasures, but I rather enjoyed Jazz and Faust, which is rather widely considered a steaming turd. Of course, it probably helped that I was playing with my young nephew, who was enthralled by his first-ever adventure. (Strangely, he's grown up and doesn't play them anymore. Whoops!)

I am not sure if they count, but I would name "Four Last Things" and "Procession to Calvary" - haven't played the third game of "The Immortal John Triptych" yet, but it feels to me like absurd Monty Python humor, with great historical art.

I haven't played Jazz and Faust, I always found it enticing on paper and screenshots look nice, but reviews were awful. It' a good candidate for my next "so bad is good" play. I played Necronomicon: the drawing of darkness not long ago and it was also pretty bad but enjoyable enough in its occasional cringiness, absurdity, bad writing and awkward gameplay.

I too played Jazz and Faust and really liked it, and I absolutely loved Procession to Calvary and Four Last Things.

In the 1st Degree is pretty terrible but I loved every second of it, especially the smarmy TV reporters commenting on how badly you're doing.
RE: "Guilty Pleasure" games - Karlok - 03-06-2026
Hm, so I have pleasures that I didn't know were guilty bc I enjoyed In the 1st Degree a lot. I especially liked that options in the dialogue trees disappeared after you'd made your choice, good or bad.

I don't feel a bit guilty about liking Adventure at the Chateau d'Or, despite the wine cellar puzzle, the history quiz, the poor acting, and the silly story.
RE: "Guilty Pleasure" games - Jen - 03-06-2026
Nor should you feel guilty about liking such a stinker

This thread makes me remember Legacy: Dark Shadows.
Strangely, the ideas for each separate game location weren't bad: Mars colony, underground city, cargo spaceship going insane a la HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey, the asteroid - it could have worked if not for far-fetched scenario, bad puzzle design and extremely linear gameplay.
