Now On iTunes For For Just 99 Cents: THE WORLD’S WORST VIDEO GAME [PHOTOS]

Font Size:

Teenagers everywhere can now download the world’s worst video game on Apple’s iTunes for the low, low price of 99 cents.

The sick role-playing fantasy game, called “On The Lam: Fugitive Simulator,” allows users to amuse themselves as crazed murderers with various killing rationales who then survive by thieving, taking drugs and killing some more.

“On The Lam” – last updated on May 29 – is a creation of Skaldic Games, an independent video game developer out of Southern California.

“On The Lam” was designed to be the most realistic fugitive simulator game ever made,” the Skaldic Games website boasts. “Many hours of researching actual fugitive cases were spent to bring the most authentic and realistic experience to the player.”

Skaldic Games rates the violent, nihilistic game as “12+” for “infrequent/mild realistic violence” and “infrequent/mild alcohol, tobacco, or drug use or references.”

A disturbed dad alerted The Daily Caller to the unsettling nature of “On The Lam” after he discovered his 13-year-old son playing it.

“I partly blame myself,” the concerned father, who wishes to remain anonymous, told TheDC. “He has an iPhone that he has for emergencies and games. I usually check his phone and what he downloads, and all the games in the past have been simple things such as Angry Birds and those other cartoony games.”

The dad began to suspect something was amiss when his son was glued to his iPhone even longer than usual.

“I wanted to make sure he wasn’t texting any stranger, so he showed me the game and I had to play it myself just to see what exactly my kid was being exposed to.”

That’s when the mad dad discovered that his son had been role-playing for hours as a homicidal maniac.

The extreme subject matter starts at the very outset of the game when players are briefly informed about the nature of a heinous crime they just committed. All the crimes appear to include premeditated, cold-blooded murder.

 

TheDC obtained some screenshots of the introductory screens:

After committing the initial crime, players as young as 12 years old proceed to choose their own criminal adventure by eluding the cops, violently stealing cars, taking illicit drugs, robbing stores, breaking into houses and killing innocent people.

For example, in the midst of a robbery, they can choose to kill a mother and her two children or merely tie them up:

In other scenes, users can consume meth and other illegal drugs:

Down the right side of the user’s screen is a list of role-playing abilities and sensations including endurance, dexterity, paranoia, hunger, health, tiredness and bladder and bowels.

Strangely, the screenshots that appear at the beginning of the game informing players about their murderous motivations don’t appear in any of the sample screenshots on iTunes.

“I think if the game developer added those screenshots right on the app store, no one would download it, so it seems to be hidden intentionally,” the angry father told TheDC.

“This game actually might inspire a killer,” he added.

The man behind Skaldic Games and “On the Lam” is former Activision employee Randall Herman.

So far, 26 iTunes users have rated “On the Lam.” It has garnered a 3-star rating overall.

According to Steamcommunity.com, “On the Lam” is also now available as a computer game. The PC cost is $10.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
