Squirrel wih a gun is such a hardcore internet-meme-sensation-game, that it makes the duck game and goat simulator look like tryhard games for connaisseurs. The name of the game is the game here: You play a squirrel with a gun. In fact, the squirrel is so small, that it feels more like you're playing a gun with a squirrel, but I'm not here to argue semantics, I want to introduce to this silly masterpiece.

What Is Squirrel With a Gun?

Well, it's a game, first and foremost, and it comes our way courtesy of developer Daniel DeEntremont. In the game, you, as you'd expect, play a squirrel. More specifically, you play a squirrel with mad chaotic and criminal energy... and a gun.

The description is as sassy as the game "It is not easy, but it's fun, to be a squirrel with a gun". Sounds like one of my colleagues wrote it. The devs state that Squirrel with a Gun will be a sandox game with plenty of exploration. In fact, it's giving us GTA vibes - not just because of the open world and you being a criminal squirrel, but also because you're being tracked down by agents with that open-world. Why? Because not only are you a squirrel with a gun, no, you're also robbing suburbian houses and causing madness. Conker's Bad Fur Day, anyone?

There's no release date for the game yet, but since the game's trailer already made this much of a splash, you can expect for the internet to make some noise, once the game is actually released. Let's hope it releases ahead of GTA 6 though, because I think we're all itching to release our inner crimelord in one way or another.
