Tux & Fanny began as a 2019 film by Albert Birney, released in parts on Instagram and as a feature-length film on Vimeo. Barney has since developed the idea into a video game that mixes the quirky oddness of the film with an almost bottomless well of lavish but incongruous inclusions. Full of delightful one-time throwaway mechanics and unnecessarily fleshed out mini-games, Tux and Fanny begins as a parody (?) of traditional point and click adventure games, but ends up something completely different and unique. Tux & Fanny is available on Nintendo Switch and for Mac/PC on itch.io, for $10. Expect it to take around 6-8 hours to complete, but if you decide to read the unabridged copy of Moby Dick included in the game it could be a bit longer.
