"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 MassacreCookies 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.

Hey, I haven't heard about the game. Can anyone recommend it for my channel? And if possible, how long does the game last?

It's a total scam. The game is good, but there are no cookies, much less marijuana. They promise you good prostitutes with considerable-sized breasts, but there are none. For depression, I had to go to the psychologist in Santa Margalida for 69 days.

boring asl

i finished this game a couple weeks back, and i loved it so much! if i remember correctly, there's 12 endings? i had some glitches here and there, but other than that i had lots of fun! everything is so dark and dirty and grungy looking lol, absolutely perfect

got too high and got stuck in an endless loop of walking back and forth, still dunno how tf to play this game

but the design is super nice

please fix this. i want to play it but it keeps bugging out and conversation texts wont even show up

GREAT GAME WITH MANY POSSIBLE ENDINGS. I THINK.

Would like to say. Love this game. It's well made, hours of fun, keeps you on edge.

Fajna gierka/ Nice game

where's the key in the clown roo

(+1)

Deliciously grungy aesthetic that makes me want to take a shower after playing. A couple of the routes are better than the others, and I largely agree with R. Egbert on his criticisms of "Green Hell," but overall very great environmental storytelling/game design. The only time I was really stumped as to what to do was getting "The Key To Your Heart," but even then I was able to figure it simply by throwing shit at the wall until something worked.

LMFOAOA YEAH, the "key to your heart" got me as well, somehow missed the writing on the wall that says kill this bitch PFF. i just looked up someones playthrough to find the answer

(+2)

Holy fucking shit this is FREE. Really enjoyed what it has to offer, even though a lil bit buggy but it's still amazing.

Fucking Bloodlines level of legendary. One of my favorite games, the devs are saints for making it free.

(+2)

Soo im stuck, What am I meant to do? I cant give the roach the raid and cannot find any videos to help

(+1)

did you figure it out?

(1 edit) (+2)

Really impressive atmosphere, the social commentary/parody gives me GTA (positive connotation.) Sadly, I was trying the porn studio plotline and it glitched out two attempts in a row. I'm guessing you're not updating the game further at this point, but I wanted to say that it was QUITE a vibe for the most part. Horrible to look at, listen to, and think about. Great work!

EDIT: went back and finished aaaaall the threads. Kinda obsessed, tbh. Any more projects on the way?

(+2)

Hoooowww do I give the roach the raid?? Pls help😭

(+1)

That's the neat part-you don't! The only completion of that thread (to the best of my knowledge) is taking the raid yourself. The roach is just there to give you a hint about the thread. And that's not technically necessary either. Raid was the first thread I finished, and I found the roach while I was working on my seventh one lol

(+1)

LOL i figured that out after I asked! Tysm! i was just lazy tbh and didnt delete lol!!

(+1)

Honestly this has been my favorite horror game I've ever played, I love the style, the mechanics, the gameplay and the different anthologies based around vices. 

THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS GAME! :D

(+1)

I WAS NOT EXPECTING ICHI TO BE THERE WTF
(+1)

Being forced into making snuff is insane, much like the carrol brothers LMAO
(+2)

I am absolutely in love with this game! The attention to detail is amazing and the environment is perfect for many different horror story anthologies! These are just part 1 and 2 and im planning to get all 10 :D

Love the game!

(+1)

hey the game blocks every single time after defeating the kfc brothers. by going against the door i can see the employee, but if i click the door it just makes a sound as if it's locked. i did this three times, and even if the music stops, it keeps happening. help anyone

(+1)

Im actually going to get on my knees and beg for a Mac Book version. Im in the middle of a Barnes N noble and thought "ya know fuck this shit im gonna play cookies!" only to find out its only available in windows, now im crying. );

(+1)

how long does it take to beat?

(+3)

Idfk man thats what im looking for 

(+1)

There are essentially 12 "endings," and you could beat any of them in under 10 minutes if you knew the exact course of events. Buuut part of the fun is not being sure of how to progress and messing with things to find your next clue.

I got all twelve endings in three to five hours, and I got them all in two sittings. The only thing that slowed me down too much was that one mission glitched out on me.

(+1)

lol guys please give me a nickname that sounds like the sky is falling on you (for Newgrounds)
