History VideoGame / Struggling

** One chapter, aptly titled ''[[Franchise/SpiderMan Friendly Neighborhood Flesh Monster]]'', has Troy swinging from building to building.

** Amadeus is a large, bucktoothed boss in a disgusting-looking chamber that sings melodious opera, similar to ''[[VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay the Great Mighty Poo.]]''

Imagine if ''VideoGame/{{Carrion}}'', ''VideoGame/HappyWheels'' and ''Heave Ho'' somehow had an inbred child together and then that inbred child had a baby with ''Franchise/TheThing''. You get ''Struggling'', a challenging yet absurdly grotesque physics platform game published by Creator/FrontierDevelopments and developed by Montreal-based studio Chasing Rats Games, in which you assume the role of a monster attempting to fulfill an ancient prophecy. Key word... ''attempting.''

* EscapeSequence: As Troy's combat skills are lackluster, at best, they have to rely on running away from things such as the Pigosaurus, a giant abomination that can be found on the second floor within the Lab and is ''definitely'' trying to eat them.

* NiceHat: Troy can find a number of lovely headwear throughout their adventure and can each put on one. They are, unfortunately, lost upon death. Some examples include conical party hats, discarded red plastic cups, and possibly sentient lumps of flesh with an eyeball on them.

* YouBastard: [[spoiler:At the Galaxy Brain Summit, Achilles and Hector call out the player for puppeteering them and forcing them to go through no shortage of pain, suffering, deaths, and respawns all for the sake of entertainment.]]

* HorryfyingTheHorror: Despite being a huge EldritchAbomination Amadeus the Firstborn seems to be genuinely horrified of Troy suddenly tumbling into his lair.

Long ago, when the world was in peril, new heroes emerged and put a stop to all evil, each and every one of them defined by their uniquely abnormal features, and helped create a new golden age for humanity. However, a false prophet rose to power and drove away these heroes. For years, they devoutly believed that two great heroes, Hector and Achilles, would come to save all of freak-kind when the time came.

...Too bad these so-called "heroes" came a few centuries too late, in the form of a conjoined genetic experiment possessing little else other than two floppy, flailing limbs. Breaking out of the laboratory in which it was born, this pitiful folly of modern science traverses deranged worlds to achieve its full potential.

* BodyHorror: ''GOOD LORD,'' this game doesn't hold back. Crusty, wet eyeballs, meaty flesh, and disjointed teeth are just a ''few'' of the many grisly sights you may witness as you flail and tumble your way through the game's worlds.

* WombLevel: A bunch of the levels in this game are viscerally fleshy.

* EscapeSequence: As Troy's combat skills are lackluster, at best, they have to rely on running away from things such as the Pigosaurus, a giant abomination that may have once been a guinea pig and is ''definitely'' trying to eat them.

* {{Cyclops}}: Some of the abominations shown in the game (e.g Achilles, Paris, and Morpheus) sport only a single eye.

* FreezeFrameBonus: Early on in the game, Troy will find himself sliding quickly through a room encased in flesh at high speeds. If you were to backtrack a bit, you may find an old, destroyed container with a faded-out label reading "#003: MORPHEUS". [[spoiler:Morpheus is the name of the third and final Abomination God encountered in the game.]]
