Opossum Country is a free Platform/GameBoyColor {{Horror}} game. It was released on itch.io on December 14, 2020 by Ben Jelter.
It follows a pizza delivery guy who delivers a pizza to a trailer park in the woods. While he's there, he gets wrapped up in something bigger than himself and discovers the secrets of the residents of the village.
You can play it [[https://benjelter.itch.io/opossum-country here]].
! ''Opossum Country'' contains examples of:
* AmbiguousSituation:
** Who really ordered the pizza? It becomes the lesser issue over the course of the story, but why was the pizza guy sent there if nobody ordered the pizza?
** Who's in the right? The pizza guy seems the obvious answer at first, as he's painted as the OnlySaneMan in the {{Cult}}-y town. But from the townsfolk's perspective, the pizza guy came and harassed the residents, stole from them, then [[spoiler: shot and killed many of their fellow citizens]].
* ArcSymbol: The opossums. They fill the woods, and you can see their beady eyes in many shots through the game. Then it's revealed that [[spoiler: the opossums are the true forms of the transformed citizens]].
* AxCrazy: The woman with the gun who threatens to kill you as soon as you approach her.
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: The transformation from human to opossum is pretty brutal. Your body splits in half vertically, and the opossum crawls out of your insides. It's put on full display in the back room of the church/radio station]].
* {{Cult}}: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. [[spoiler: What seems horrific to the pizza delivery guy is, to the townsfolk, the transforming into their true forms. And when you kill one of the recently transformed citizens, the town is horrified]].
* DeepSouth: The residents live in [[TrashyTrailerHome Trashy Trailer Homes]] and speak with a southern dialect, and are... [[{{Understatement}} certainly colorful characters]].
* DontGoInTheWoods: You might be met with a hostile {{Cult}} who [[spoiler: transform into opossums]].
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: You shoot and kill one of the recently-transformed citizens and Bill anguishes over her dead body while screaming "All we wanted was to be left alone..."]].
* FridgeHorror: You encounter a lot of opossums blocking the path to the radio station transformed church, and while going on the path, you might encounter and have to shoot them to get past. [[spoiler: At the end, it's revealed the citizens are transforming into opossums, meaning all of the ones you killed were transformed citizens]].

[[spoiler: At the end, though, after you kill one of their citizens, it's hard not to feel bad for them]].
* NiceGuy: The unusually tall man in the forest is the one of the only citizens who helps you out, and he gives you advice while you're going through the forest.
* OnlySaneMan: The pizza delivery guy is set up to be this before TheReveal at the end.
* {{Retraux}}: The game is in the style of a Platform/GameBoyColor game, complete with the pixelated graphics, limited color scheme, and [[{{Chiptune 4 audio channels]].
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: The townsfolk are or are transforming into opossums]].
* SmallSecludedWorld: The trailer park is largely secluded from the rest of the world and only accessible by a long road through a creepy forest. Its only connection to the outside world is a radio station, but the few phones there are in the town don't work.
* TrashyTrailerHome: All of the citizens live in tiny trailer homes.
* WhamShot: [[spoiler: The back room of the church/radio station, with the [[BodyHorror bodies of the transformed citizens up on hooks]]]].
* WorkplaceHorror: Technically. You play as a pizza delivery guy delivering to a trailer park in the middle of nowhere.
