In friendslop, live social interaction is much more important than gameplay or game art, which is sometimes deliberately minimalist. The games are often played for laughs and offer a chaotic or wacky experience with unpredictable shared moments. This makes them unsatisfying to play alone even if it’s possible.

    Turns out people like to play inexpensive games with their friends!

    The genre name is unfortunate but the movement overall is positive.

    I resent the use of “slop” for these. As if Peak isn’t a well-developed game.
