“I’m in Love With Your Dead Grandmother” is the story (and I use that word in the loosest possible sense) of Noah. According to the PlayStation Store description, Noah is a gamer, photographer and is looking for “action” via an online dating site. None of that is adequately translated into the game so instead, we open on Noah meeting his potential love interest Michelle. They meet in a park where Noah takes pictures of Michelle using a crappy kids-VTech-styled camera, feeds her food made of plasticine and then spends an awkwardly long time monologuing about himself as he hypes himself up to go to Michelle’s house.

Once here, the pair exchange strained lines of dialogue until Noah notices a picture that catches his eye. It’s a photo of Michelle’s Grandmother, Betty (played by the same actress as Michelle only dressed to look older). Inexplicably, Noah becomes infatuated and starts to day dream about trying to woo Betty here while simultaneously sabotage his date with Michelle. The game flits the two scenes – between the real world where Noah and Michelle are having an awkward date and Noah attempting to bed a 70 year old Betty in his imagination. It strikes a truly irreverent and outlandish tone that makes Spongebob Square Pants look conventional.
