Pajama Sam 3: You Are What You Eat From Your Head to Your Feet, or PJS3: YAWYEFYHTYF for short is a beautiful meditation on what it means to be human, the struggles of compromise, and the complexities of global multi-party politics.
In this game you play as the titular Pajama Sam; the alter ego of Sam, who goes on grandiose adventures, which are speculated to occur entirely in his imagination, in order to fix some problem in his waking life. In PJS3: YAWYEFYHTYF Sam is facing the pressing issue of invasive consumerism, as he's pushed to eat 20 boxes of cookies in one sitting in order to acquire enough box tops to get a prize of his role model, Pajama Man. This excursion ends up ruining his appetite for supper, this is then paralleled in the game by Pajama Sam eating a giant cake and being forced to pay the consequences by being thrown in prison. In this allegory for his actions Pajama Sam (not to be mistaken with the non-imaginary "Sam") Must seek out and rescue all of the delegates for the peace council, who have all become incopacitated in some way, Luke Wigglebig not included. This small detail makes me believe that the candy people were attempting to prolong the war by delaying the delegates, in order to cement candy as the one true food group.The first delagate you find is your prisonmate, Florette the Broccoli who was arrested due to Anarchistic Insurection. The second you find is Piérre le Pain of the grain peoples, who is found on top of the Ferris wheel, being humiliated by the muffins who used to be his friends, however they have a separate agenda and would rather follow their art careers than help ensure the peace of their people. Later on you find a race war breaking out between the Jelly Beans and the Kidney Beans and the quarry, because although they are both beans, the only thing that matters is the colour of their outsides. This causes them to stop working and partition themselves, with the Bean Foreman being powerless to stop the conflict, Pajama Sam ends up using circular logic to convince them to argue the opposite side's point without realization. This causes the agression to simmer down, and allows Bean #47 to attend the peace council without fear of being jumped by the local Jelly Bean gangs. The next delagate we run into is Granny Smyth of the fruits, who is being harassed by a group of unrepresented canned goods, in order to passify this group you need to promise funded community programs. This convinces the canned goods to free Granny Smyth, allowing her to go to the peace council. The final delagate you find is Chuck "Cheese of Adventure" Cheddar, who's flee via hot air balloon was halted by becoming lodged in the cotton candy clouds (who were possibly working for the candy kingdom), preventing him from leaving the country. You will end up blackmailing him, that if you save him from dying, by dislodging the hot air balloon that he'd be required to go to the peace council, which he accepts. With all the delegates rounded up, the negotiations descend into chaos, with all sides becoming more entrenched in their positions, while also yelling slurs at the other delegates and attempting to discredit their positions. It seems as if peace is impossible, until Pajama Sam chimes in as a neutral 3rd party, convincing them of equal representation in an oligarchy style food government. The game ends with Pajama Sam snapping out of his sugar-induced fever dream and remembering that it was time for Dinner. In short, this is one of the great works of fiction told in the modern era, we should be thanking Humongous Entertainment along with Nightdive Studios for making this magnum opus masterpiece available for the all the uncultured plebians on Steam.
