Mr. Massagy Turns Your Controller Into a Massager. For Your Neck, Obviously.
The game also has you using a Tinder-esque app to find dates, but that's probably just a coincidence.
In Mr. Massagy for PC or PlayStation 4, you use an app called Linger to line up dates with women and unlock massage settings for your DualShock 4 controller. Once you've unlocked greater or lesser vibrations, you place your controller right against your...
Whoa! Hey! Get your mind out of the gutter. Mr. Massagy is trying to do some good in the world, but you? You disgust me. After all, the game makes a point of telling you to place your controller on your neck to relieve tension. Because, hey, it's a sedentary world out there, isn't it?

Which is inconvenient, because everyone knows you need to find a rhythm and keep it going to relieve tension. In your back. Or neck. Wherever.
There's an age gate on the Steam version?! I am shocked. SHOCKED.
