My Arms Are Longer Now ditches traditional spy-thriller tropes to deliver a comedy stealth game where players control a single, anarchic limb instead of a full character.

The game, developed by creators from Australia's improv scene and published by makers of comedic party games, reimagines stealth gameplay through absurdist humor. Rather than sneaking through levels as a spy, assassin, or thief, players guide one spectacularly badly behaved limb across floors and around furniture. The elongated appendage steals objects, slaps anyone within reach, and winds around environmental obstacles—combining slapstick comedy with stealth mechanics. The premise challenges genre conventions by stripping away the criminal protagonist entirely, leaving only the misbehavior. This collaboration brings together developers known for comedic improvisation with publishers experienced in party game design, suggesting a focus on humor-driven gameplay rather than traditional stealth intensity. My Arms Are Longer Now represents a departure from conventional stealth game narratives, prioritizing absurdist fun over espionage storytelling.
