Side effects may include

Take one game daily. Or forty.

  • Uncontrollable tapping
  • Yelling "LEGENDARY" at 2 a.m.
  • Naming your houseplants after bosses
  • Hearing drums when there are no drums
  • A sudden urge to collect everything
  • Parrying things in real life

Not real medical advice. Real side effects are rare, which is the whole joke. Ask your doctor if brainrot is right for you (spoiler: yes).

The studio

Hi, I'm Dr.Dev.

I'm a doctor turned game dev, and Rare Side Effects is my one-person studio. I make the kind of games I'd want to play on a break: quick to pick up, hard to put down, and silly on purpose.
