A strong argument against video game preservation
A journey told on the tightrope of digital commerce. At once tangible and deeply impossible, a sort of Schrodinger's Shovelware only real through the electro-nightmare that is Discord streaming. Gomit, I don't know what hellish void you tore this game from, but I beg you, put it back.
oh, and the game itself? mid. seems completely mediocre. Killer Baby Forever.

Der "etwas andere" Space-Shooter
Schwarzer Humor pur!
-The german tagline of the game.
One shy evening while I was being grilled alive at 35°C in my room, fellow gamers (non-derogatory) @'d me on discord to go and play "Killer Baby" under the pretense of "I know German so this should be fun".
Intrigued as I was, I couldn't find a game DL of it for the life of me. Aside from this very humble game cover, there was no info to be found about it on the vast interwebz.
I did however find out that Amazon was selling it a discount of 100% off, FOR A WHOPPING 0.01 CENTS
After 8.01€ spent (8 Euros on shipping, capitalism smh) and also getting an external cd playa for my puter, it arrived
Now I could finally answer this burning question that was lingering inside me:
Is this an actual game, or is this just malware?
.
.
.
It's fucking boring, that's what it is.
Here some gameplay I recorded to see for yourself. For archiving purposes, I put the zip of the CD-ROM and the game (and the games front and back of the packaging) on Archive.org so that you too can play mid.
