No, that's not a caps lock error, that's the name of the game. Just go with me on this one...

BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER 3 is a first-person shooter where you play as a drug dealer who attempted to perform a demonic ritual to resurrect your favorite deceased singer but accidentally opened a portal to Hell. And then it gets weird.

The game straddles the line between sincere homage to or parody of Brazilian mods and bootleg games, and a sincere attempt at indie game development. The result has been as an incredible fever dream you should play by Kotaku which both looks clearly made by newcomers and yet at the same time is way more competent and well crafted than you might expect. It not only feels like Quake, it uses the Quake engine (specifically building off of the QSS-M source port), an exanple of using open source to make new work.

It's like the game equivalent of an underground mixtape or an indie movie, where it has an overwhelmingly positive rating on Steam because the target audience takes one look and thinks it's awesome.

The game is available on Steam, itch.io and, in what I have to think is a reaction to the recent Sony shenanigans, physical media.
