Perfect Vermin is a grotesque narrative game where you destroy office furniture to see whether it is actually alive. Play involves traversing the small office area hitting doors, desks, chairs and so on, with a hammer. Hit the right ones and they are revealed to be what the game calls vermin, and explode into a bloody mess. It's a game not for the squeamish but soon subverts the violent play in surreal and intriguing directions that eventually challenge our desire to leave a legacy and the pain of terminal illness.

External examiner, Talia Mair, first checked Perfect Vermin accessibility 5 months ago. It was re-examined by Andrew Robertson and updated 5 months ago.
