Trover Saves the Universe is a bizarre comedy adventure from Justin Roiland, the co-creator of Rick and Morty, and it wastes no time embracing the absurd. The setup is gloriously ridiculous: your dogs have been dognapped by a beaked lunatic named Glorkon, who has stuffed them into his eye holes and is using their life essence to destroy the universe. Naturally, it falls to you to put a stop to it.
You are not on this rescue mission alone. You partner with Trover, a small purple eye-hole monster who is decidedly unenthusiastic about working, about being handed the job of saving the universe, and, frankly, about you. That reluctant, cantankerous dynamic fuels much of the game's humour, with the narration itself cheerfully insulting and then half-heartedly reassuring you as you go.
Together, you and Trover are the only ones who can set things right in this strange corner of the cosmos. As an action-adventure indie title built around Roiland's signature comedic voice, Trover Saves the Universe appeals to PC players who want their adventures loaded with irreverent jokes and offbeat characters. It is a game that leans firmly into comedy, delivering its story with plenty of attitude and eccentricity.
