"best described as, “wow, Silent Hill, Twin Peaks, and The Wire made messy love all over Candyman while watching reruns of Bozo the Clown.”" - DreadXP
Named #17 in Slant Magazine's "25 Best Games of 2021"
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.

just watched your video & lmaooooooooooo
I’m going to go play this game right now!!
Are You Ready To Get High on COOKIES?!
I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but not this! This game... wow what a trip! I love the surrealism and the atmosphere. really well done. Bravo! Kudos!
this looks like bigcdaman345[on .itch.io[he makes games that look like that[its the sam kind of visul stly]]]
I did not play this game
Any chance to adjust mouse sensitivity? Game is unplayable for me just because that one problem
This game is WILD, BONKERS and AWESOME!
hi ,, i like ure game ,, maybe we can make a collaboration in the future !!
One of the most interesting games i played here,unfortunately i got only two endings,i tried to play it again to get new endings,but i don't understood what to do with items i got and how to move on,but i still liked it,it really gives you this atmosphere of living in slums and ghettos,5\5
Crazy game 👍
takes the VHS style that many developers try to recreate and pushes it to 1000. very interesting!
i remember playing this game when i was tripping on DMT. made some good memories with my buddies. this is genuinely one of my favorite games. There's just so much to do and see and you're always left sitting there thinking "the fuck?" but in a good way.
I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of my favourite itch.io games ever. So many games on here are barely even games, but this is really great and a very nice surprise.
100% agree, one of the most underrated games of all time.
Triple AGREE! This was so much fun to play and edit! We need more games like this
Great game, alot of replay ability value. Wanted to unlock all endings but it seems kinda buggy at times to achieve different endings.
I could've played this game for days! There were so many hidden easter eggs. I want to know what the beef with the clown was and why couldn't I kill it but it could kill me?! I have a big grudge lol. Other than that, I am proud that I cooked those CBD brownies. OMNOMNOM!! Starts at 6:13 until 01:36:18!
to kill the clown you need to reach the end of the maze and get the party gun, it looks like a toy dinosaur
Thank you omgg! I will play again now just to get the clown lol
This game was amazing, I was up until 4 in the morning playing it... Tried to get all the endings but unfortunately #7 and #10 were too difficult to figure out, regardless, I was enthralled with the experience. Definitely reminiscent of Manhunt (aesthetically). Thank you for making this, I hope you continue to make more games like this in the future!
Wow, i can even smell this game, absolutely crazy, all in a good way of course
I just send you a tip of 12 dollars because oh meeen... this game is awesome! just keep going doing good games, or you can make the second part of cookies.
póngalo para steam plssss
I killed the rat king with the three piece. Pretty sure I sequence broke the game lol. I would like to see some sort of checkpoint/save system in the future.
fuster clucks is super broken, respawn with the carrols either has them frozen or spawns you in the kitchen area with no way to get back in the freezer other than main menu
this is the first itch game that actually has replay value lol, love this
i play a lot of indie horror but this one was a surprise gem.
This was a strange one and I loved every second of it.
Esta buenísimo
Super jeu!
you should change the controls of the inventory to TAB instead of keeping it as I, cause it is easier
Hi Stef Pinto it's there any chance that i could help to translate the game to Spanish? i don't know anything about how to do it but i would like to help your game reach more people. (My first/main language it's spanish so it would be a good translation)
How can i save in this game?
The game autosaves whenever you complete a storyline.
can we have a sequel please
I love the game its a really cool concept with a great environment. also is the whole snuff fight portion slightly inspired by manhunt
Im super stuck.
I've completed the cookies storyline but after the boss fight I get no cut scene or anything, and I've seen in some game play it's meant to end :/ I've replayed it atleast 10 times now .
I only have 2 endings left to unlock but this one doesn't seem to want to unlock and i don't know how to activate the next last one.
Hey, sorry for the delay with replying to your last message and this one, I've been a tad busy recently. Could you give some specifics as to what storyline you're trying to achieve, and what you're doing right before its supposed to end? The tenth and final storyline only unlocks when the other nine are completed which is why you haven't been able to access it yet.
Sorry for any frustration this has caused.
it's totally fine, don't worry :)
So I've completed them all except 07 and 10.
So im on 07 , everything works fine until I have to deal with the sinners, once I've dealt with them on the other floor I make my way to the basement to deal with the boss and his throwable weapon,
he is actually pretty easy to deal with but once he's dead nothing happens.
I've wondered around the whole game and can't figure out what I've done wrong.
Also no need be sorry , im enjoying this game and the only frustration happening is that I want to see how the game finishes and I cant haha
Wooo i did it.
not sure what it was, might have been a glitch but I loaded up again today and it worked first time. Finally unlocked 07 ♡ now I'm gonna start the 10 ♡
Didnt take to long to complete 10 ♡
I really enjoyed this game and I am super interested to see what you come up with next ♡
