Satirical Worldbuilding in Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion

Player is a turnip boy. The mayor is an onion, and the gardener is a strawberry.

That’s the charm of this short action-adventure game by Snoozy Kazoo where every character is a fruit or vegetable, every quest is absurd, and yet… the world feels oddly real.

This isn’t just a funny name slapped on a Zelda-like.

The entire world is designed to poke fun at bureaucracy, corruption, and pop culture — all while keeping a wholesome, cartoonish charm.

1. Unique Theme – Veggie society satire

2. Quests with punchlines – Jokes in every task

3. Dialogue-driven humor – Sharp, witty lines

4. Story twist – Cheerful turns dark

Why it works:
● The comedy isn’t separate from the narrative — it is the narrative
● The satire makes the world memorable without ever feeling preachy

Turnip Boy shows how worldbuilding itself can be a joke, a theme, and a story engine, all at once
