Bizarre Plunger Crusade is a short comedy-horror game where the player controls a plumber tasked with exorcising a possessed toilet using only a plunger. As they explore the house, they’re subjected to taunts and bad puns from the haunted toilet itself. The game features voice acting, multiple scripted events, and a small narrative arc.
The project began with a name pulled from a game name generator, which sparked the idea to scope a full, small-scale game around the absurd premise. I proposed we keep the scope tight and focus on building a complete vertical experience rather than a one-off level. I also suggested we align roles with individual strengths, allowing each team member to specialize and work more efficiently.
I served as the Lead Producer, as well as contributing to programming and design. I applied an Agile-inspired workflow with regular meetings and iterative planning to keep momentum high and the scope under control. The result was a fully-voiced, playable game delivered in just three months.
