A Firm Handshake for Windows

Free animated handshake game

Torfi is the creator of A Firm Handshake, which is a free Windows game that's described as an atmospheric, surreal action-game. This game was inspired by Covid-19's ban on physical contact.

You play the role of a businessman wearing a brown suit and approach other businesspeople to shake their hands. The businessmen will follow you closely. You'll face different challenges depending on your level while trying to reach these businessmen. Painting Lacy is an alternative game that explores work-life balance.

Extract the contents of the ZIP file. Double-click the EXE file in order to install the game. You will need to use the arrow keys to move around. You will explore a brown office with a few potted flowers scattered around. You'll hear the sound of your footsteps while you play.

You meet every business person at level 1. As you search for more business people, they will follow you. You will continue this process until you have about ten.

Rows of sumo wrestlers will block your path at level 2. They will try to stop you from speaking with the businessman on your opposite side. They all cheer for you when you succeed.

Level three is a feeling of rejection, as every person you want shake hands with turns away from your desire to shake hands with them.

Level four begins with an alarm sounding and you are standing next to a bed. You'll be able to meet and shake hands as soon as you start moving.

Both games create a surreal, similar atmosphere. A Firm Handshake is a simple, straightforward game that presents only a few challenges. The hardest part of the game is getting through the rows sumo wrestlers. You'll have to keep trying until you get caught. It's a quick game with only four levels.

Painting Lacy requires more detail and is more difficult. It's challenging to solve multiple problems, but it's also time-sensitive, making it more difficult to succeed.

Do you need to wait for a Zoom call? A Firm Handshake can be used as a distraction to help pass the time. It takes approximately ten to fifteen minutes to complete, and it's unlikely that you will want to play it more than once.
