It's not the utter absurdity of a disheveled, post-divorce Elmo-like character trying to jam a day's worth of dumps down the can that's got me confused and awestruck; it's how the sequence is working. "Is this partly CGI? Or is it all real-time?" You'd be forgiven for thinking it's the former.
Revealed at Summer Game Fest 2025, Sans Strings Studio's Felt That: Boxing, on the surface, looks like Puppet Punch Out!
