Going Immobile

Editorial Meh

Going Immobile is a niche weight-gain game with surprisingly solid mechanical foundations and a committed developer. The core gameplay loop — catching food while gradually gaining weight — resonates with its target audience; several players praise the simple engagement and the way weight gain feels organic rather than punitive. The developer is actively fixing bugs and adding content (audio logs, new mechanics), which speaks to ongoing support. However, the build has real problems. Multiple players report crashes on launch tied to CPU/graphics requirements (SSE 4.2 support, newer GPU drivers needed), and several confirm the game "just crashes" with fatal errors — a pattern affecting enough users to be a genuine barrier. Beyond stability, reviewers note gameplay friction: obscured vision as your character grows, misaligned aiming between mouse and hand position, and locked content (animations, audio logs) that feels incomplete even in the paid version. One player bluntly calls the full version "a tech demo" at $4, lacking the depth to justify the price. The game is playable for those who meet the hardware specs, but it feels unfinished and faces real optimization/completion work.
