The mysterious indie game Garn47 has just received a significant update.

      Garn47 is characterized as “an adventure game where you explore to uncover secrets and meet new friends,” and it has just undergone a significant update with version 2.4.4, also referred to as “The Glorgle Patch D.” Are you confused? So are we, and that’s completely by design. Garn47 is a peculiar, unsettling fever dream of a game that was originally concealed within another game (Friday Night Funkin) and released on Newgrounds in 2020.

      You can download Garn47 on Itch for free. Created by artist and musician Floombo, the game’s inexplicable nature makes playing it enjoyable. It feels like walking through a late-night Adult Swim commercial from the mid-2000s. While earlier versions of Garn47 felt experimental, the latest one noticeably provides a more structured gaming experience. As for the meaning of the “Glorgle” update, we’re uncertain if anyone aside from Floombo has the answer.

      The game began as a small project, but its bizarre qualities caught the eye of numerous YouTube streamers, which significantly boosted its popularity. Garn47 now has a Patreon and has undergone multiple updates, making it somewhat easier to navigate. However, all updates bear equally bizarre names (2.2 is The Friendly Update, 2.3 is The Green Update, and 2.3.5 is The Tickle Patch.zip).

      In the game, you assume the role of a shadowy figure reminiscent of Slenderman, moving through the world with disjointed, staccato movements. It seems everything about the game is crafted to evoke a sense of discomfort in the player. The gloomy environments enhance this feeling, and while the latest update provides players with a flashlight, it merely highlights how dark the surroundings are. The best way to enjoy Garn47 is to enter with minimal prior knowledge; dive in, explore, and then engage with the community to piece together the experience.

      At a time when many mainstream games appear to be mere imitations of one another, Garn47 maintains the eccentric side of gaming and represents one of those quirky, somewhat unexplored niches of the internet with a dedicated, albeit small, community. The game isn't complete, but there’s ample content to keep you entertained for several hours, likely leaving you pondering afterward. Garn47 is labeled as “surreal” on Itch, which is probably the most accurate description of the experience.

      The 20 Best Nintendo Switch Exclusives of All Time

      When the Nintendo Switch debuted in 2017, expectations were high. The hybrid console immediately felt like a dream system, and the fact that it launched with a brand-new Legend of Zelda game was a promising sign that Nintendo would support it with high-quality titles. The standard was set high right from the start—and Nintendo repeatedly rose to the occasion over the eight memorable years since.

      The Nintendo Switch era isn't ending completely just yet, but it will take a backseat to the arrival of Switch 2 on June 2. This upcoming date has prompted us to reflect on the impressive array of games we've experienced on the platform since 2017. Third-party developers returned to Nintendo in significant ways with ports that expanded the Switch’s library, but the console's standout feature has been its exclusives. We’ve seen Nintendo's studios at their best, reviving a plethora of forgotten series while delivering some of their most outstanding installments for classics. Zelda, Mario, Fire Emblem, and others have made the Nintendo Switch an essential device, and that goodwill will likely extend to Switch 2.

      GTA 6 Delay is Good for the Game, But That Doesn’t Mean I’m Not Disappointed

      Grand Theft Auto 6 has been officially postponed until May 26, 2026. While this is disappointing for fans hoping to play this year, it likely benefits the game's overall quality. In its statement regarding the delay, Rockstar Games said, "With every game we have released, our aim has always been to exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception. We hope you understand that we require this extra time to deliver the level of quality you expect and deserve."
