Talent Not Included is a 2016 indie platformer developed by Frima Studio, available on PC, Mac, and Xbox One. Set in the fantasy realm of Notthatmuchfurther, the game follows three monster actors — Zordok, Derp, and Kevin — who share a passion for slaughter, bloodbaths, and Shakespeare. After a bored evening leads them to mount their own theatrical production, a demonic critic named Zot deliberately casts these mediocre, strong-willed performers together, hoping to engineer chaos on stage for the crowd's entertainment. Players control the actors as they navigate cylinder-based platforms while contending with mechanical soldiers, animals, and various hostile creatures. Combat is a central element throughout, woven into the theatrical framing for absurdist comedic effect. The game supports local co-op, allowing multiple players to share the stage. The overall tone leans heavily on humor, pairing its fantasy setting with deliberately ridiculous situations rooted in the monsters' misguided theatrical ambitions.
