Infinite Welfare
is a fighting game known for introducing the Video Game Randomizer genre to Roblox, developed by Official Team Facepalm, comprised of lagio2, notastrain, samiam2001, and completelyuseless.
The plot of the game is simple: Society has collapsed due to everyone becoming a billionaire, printing their own money. Everyone is now trying to duke it out using their own handmade weapons, however, seemingly no one realizes that something much more darker lurks within.
Up to 19 players have to get as many frags as they can on a random map using a random assortment of up to 7 weapons and tools that change every time you respawn, each game usually descending into total chaos. Most weapons and tools are designed to be insanely overpowered, and usually reference meme culture. If you thought item asylum was the peak of Denser and Wackier PvP games on Roblox, you have yet to see IW.
Tropes:
- Bribing Your Way to Victory: Almost all of the gamepasses involve getting a higher chance to obtain a certain weapon, with the sole exception being tip which... does absolutely nothing.
- Death from Above: "Acme Delivery" allows you to spawn anvils from right above you, being useful for when someone's chasing you.
- Lethal Joke Weapon: The entire point of the game. Most weapons and tools are designed to be insanely overpowered, and usually reference meme culture.
- Taking You with Me: Several items such as the Lunk Alarm, Fly by Night, Suicidal Mortar and (sometimes) Explosive Car do this.
- The Computer Shall Taunt You: Sometimes, right before you respawn, the game throws insults at you. The badge you get the first time you join has a description stating that "your mother probably never loved you if you got this badge"
- Title Drop: One of the many weapons, a sack of money that explodes, is titled "Infinite Welfare".
- The End Is Nigh: A randomly appearing NPC named the "Rambling Madman" randomly runs around the map, yelling and chatting random, cryptic messages such as "THE MOON HAS RISEN", "THE NIGHTMARE HAS ALREADY BEGUN", "ALL WILL BE CONSUMED BY SHADOW", "they're coming they're coming THEY'RE COMING", and "it's too late, its all been set in motion".
- Tome of Eldritch Lore: The player can receive a certain journal that belongs to the Rambling Madman labeled "Lost Lore" which speaks of a ritual involving the murder of Santa Claus and a group of people who have infiltrated the cultists' ranks.
- Video Game Cruelty Punishment: Killing the Rambling Madman will force a side effect known as the "Mooncurse" on the nearest person, who might so happen to be you. Should you fail to escape the 66 stud radius, have fun getting your screen tinted red, taking damage the further you are from the moon, and make you easier to kill. Dick.
