This Is Fine: Maximum Cope
PS5 & Switch – Europe
If you’ve ever sat in a room that is literally on fire while calmly sipping coffee and telling yourself, “This is fine,” then we have some news that is actually, genuinely fine.
The viral meme-turned-metroidvania, This Is Fine: Maximum Cope, is officially making the jump to physical media. Fans of Question Hound and high-quality hand-drawn adventures can now secure a permanent spot for this existential crisis on their shelves on May 1 for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
A Journey Through the Psyche (With Coffee)
Developed by Hero Concept and published by Numskull Games, Maximum Cope isn’t just a gag game.It’s a full-fledged Metroidvania that takes you deep into the subconscious of Question Hound. Instead of just sitting in the flames, you’ll be platforming through five surreal worlds inspired by our most uncomfortable human emotions:
Humiliation
Fear
Failure
Loss
Regret
The game features a vibrant, hand-drawn cartoon aesthetic that looks like a comic book come to life.You’ll battle “inner demons” (like that cringey memory of waving at someone who wasn’t waving at you) and take on six massive bosses that manifest your deepest anxieties.
