After playing it for a bit and hoping for humor I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. This might be personal preference but I dont think randomness for the sake of randomness is funny. Portal isn't funny because it's random. It's funny because the writing is clever. No such luck here.

Rarely, if ever, have I been so certain that I would enjoy a game as quickly as I was with MacGuffin. Inside of two minutes I had already purchased a copy for a friend, and we were both laughing our donkeys off! The concept of MacGuffin is that you must break into a crumbling Japanese nuclear plant and find an item known as a “MacGuffin”. (Many of you are already in on the joke, right?) The puzzles are silly easy, and not intended to interfere with progress. Clearly, MacGuffin is a satire of the satirical “The Stanley Parable”, but infinitely funnier (which is in no way a criticism of TSP.) If you liked “Stanley” for the humor, you’ll LOVE MacGuffin for the same reason. (BUT, if you are unable to laugh at yourself, you may find it hard to laugh at MacGuffin as much as others might.) Pop culture references have perhaps never been as ever present as in MacGuffin, from Nixon and what I believe is the song Funkytown, to the dead-solid best uses of the international NO symbo...
Tries to be funny I guess but mostly misses the mark. Performance is also really bad at parts despite how basic the game looks. It's kindof like the Stanley Parable but nowhere near as good.
game tries to be the stanley parable, but is in fact, not funny or clever. give this one a pass. also, its a little racist.
I don't do reviews. That said, MacGuffin needs some love. I have no clue what the game is a parody of, however it is entertaining as it is. Comparing MacGuffin to games like Portal, is perhaps dumb. My son is a Portal fan, ME I wouldn't buy Portal, although I have played it. MacGuffin is a first-person game, and that's about it (no other similarities to Portal, so don't buy it if you expect it to be Portal-like)... About the game: Your goal is looking for something called the "MacGuffin", what is it? no clue, (currently) the game freezes before you reach it. The game is short, hence the price is fair. You have to solve a series of a lot of self-explanatory puzzles: press any button you find, pull any level you find, power all PCs you encounter, push away things to move around them... and I am not going to give away more... just read the clues, you should be fine. What can be done to improve this game? -- Lots! Please fix the beach. Please make it MODable. Achievements, it ...
The Stanley Parable without the repeated sections and Portal without the clever writing.
you are not funny, kill yourself
Asked for a refund. Unplayable, the game keep stuttering when I'm try to move.
This is a shorter Stanly parable and is funny at times and only lasts (at least for me) around thirty minutes.
Computer clicking simulator. 10/10 buy now before it's twice the price
