''Macbat 64: Journey of a Nice Chap'' is a [=3D=] {{Retraux}} PlatformGame by Siactro. It was released for [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] through UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} on March 17, 2017, with a UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch port in 2020. It's the sequel to a brief freeware game known as ''Kiwi 64''.

Of course, the real reason this game exists is as a love letter to old late 90s-era UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 3D platformers like ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'', and it certainly reflects in its presentation, featuring a bunch of wacky characters, plenty of platforming, and even [[{{Retraux}} graphics reminiscent of games right off the [=N64=]]].

* BatOutOfHell: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Macbat, as the game's title describes him as a "nice chap".
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with his apparent mother, as she tries to be intimidating at first but then realizes who she's talking to and just asks why he doesn't visit more.

* UnexpectedGameplayChange: There's a kart-racing level in this PlatformGame. It's [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as being a break from all the adventuring.
