Have You Played… Wattam?

Wattam

Wattam is a game about the joys of friendship and discovery, from the imagination of Keita Takahashi (creator of Katamari Damacy and Noby Noby Boy) and developer Funomena.

It’s difficult to describe Wattam without sounding like you’ve gone completely insane during lockdown. At first you play a lonely green cube called Mayor whose only wish is that he had a friend to share his existential misery with, but within a couple of hours you’re parping golden turds, sticking sentient eyes, a nose and a mouth on a terrifying doll’s featureless face, and flying across the vast cloud sea separating the game’s four islands on the back of a giant toilet. It’s exactly the kind of fever dream you’d expect from Katamari creator Keita Takahashi, but man alive if it isn’t one of the weirdest games I’ve ever played.
