WTF (aka Baito Hell 2000) is a heavy title to be classified. It is a collection of about forty simple mini-games. The way of playing, however, is rather not reminiscent of the well-known Mario Party series. Not without a reason in the title of the game we have hell - the authors of the game have done everything to make the life of the hero devilishly heavy.

WTF (aka Baito Hell 2000) is a heavy title to be classified. It is a collection of about forty simple mini-games. The way of playing, however, is rather not reminiscent of the well-known Mario Party series. Not without a reason in the title of the game we have hell - the authors of the game have done everything to make the life of the hero devilishly heavy. It is enough to mention that playing Baito Hell 2000 is inextricably linked with work. And it's a job of the kind of those little developing and interesting.

We start by choosing the name and sex of our hero. The next step is to look for a paid job. At the beginning the choice is not big - only four offers (four mini-games), but we have to decide on something. Sooner or later, it will lead us to nervous disorder, mental illness and behaviour similar to Charlie Chaplin's reaction after working on the factory belt.

All games are uncomplicated (not to say primitive), monotonous and have simple graphics. And yet they are addictive. We choose, for example, a game in which we have to put caps on moving pens (these move faster and faster or are arranged in the opposite direction), another occupation is counting people crossing the street (rejecting aliens, vehicles and other "inhumane" things). Actually, the whole gameplay is about pressing one button at the right moment. After the work is finished, our points are converted into cash, with which we go to the machine with capsules. For the money we draw containers, most often containing such gadgets as miniature soldiers, cars, spinning tops, stars, etc., for the money. We do not need these items for anything, we are waiting for the capsule to be drawn out with the next job. And that's what it's all about: we go to work, earn money, unlock the next job, work, earn, find a new job.... Simply hell.

A certain variety is the discovery of references to other games published by the creators. For example, in a mini-game of chopping wood (where they sometimes throw animals instead of logs), the characters are dressed in a garment that is deceptively reminiscent of the costumes of Mario and Luigi. Experienced players will find many more such subjects, music themes, etc. The last thing worth mentioning is, classic for this type of games, the ability to unlock gadgets to facilitate gameplay. Twelve objects can be found, such as those that brighten the screen (making it easier to see in the dark) or slow down the movement of elements.
