Plot

The simple graphics and a funny title may suggest that Potatoman Seeks the Troof doesn't feature a sensible plot, however, the authors put a lot of effort into developing an interesting story. We play as the titular Potatoman, living in a bizarre world, which conceals a great mystery in the form of the title Troof. To discover this secret, the protagonist embarks on a dangerous journey through deserts, forests, mountains and gloomy cities. On the way, he encounters numerous opponents, some of whom will simply try to kill him and some will engage in a philosophical debate. The whole game is kept in an absurd convention and regularly gives reasons for sincere laughter.
