The Henry Stickmin — Steam Gift

The Henry Stickmin Collection: the whole saga of an unlucky stickman in one Steam gift

If you've ever seen the “Distraction Dance” meme or that green “wrong choice” banner, you already know Henry Stickmin. The Henry Stickmin Collection bundles six adventures about the most reckless, hopelessly unlucky stickman thief into a single package. It's a choose-your-path game: you decide what Henry pulls out of his pocket next — a teleporter, a bazooka, a banana or something completely absurd — and watch how it plays out. Usually it ends in an epic fail, and here that's the whole point, not a bug.

Who made it and when

The collection was released by Innersloth — the very studio that later blew up with Among Us. Henry himself comes from a creator known as PuffballsUnited (Marcus Bromander). The bundle launched on Steam on August 7, 2020 and served as the finished ending for a series that previously lived as browser Flash games. If you love Innersloth's signature scrappy, charming humor, this is its highest concentration.

What's in the collection — six chapters

This isn't a single game but a whole saga of six chapters, redrawn and bundled together:

• Breaking the Bank — the short prologue where it all started: Henry robs a bank.
• Escaping the Prison — a prison break with three different endings.
• Stealing the Diamond — heisting a giant diamond from a museum.
• Infiltrating the Airship — sneaking onto the Toppat Clan's airship.
• Fleeing the Complex — escaping the most secure prison on earth.
• Completing the Mission — the big finale built specially for this collection to tie every story branch together.

The first five are remasters of the old Flash chapters with new art and animation; the sixth is entirely new. No Adobe Flash needed — everything was rebuilt in Unity as one Steam app.

The story: from petty thief to intergalactic disaster

The setup is simple — Henry wants to rob a bank. But from there the story balloons into pure absurdity: prison breaks, a museum diamond heist, a showdown with the airborne Toppat Clan, and a downright cosmic finale. Each chapter is a self-contained mini-story with its own villains, allies and piles of pop-culture references. The branches intertwine: your choices in one chapter echo into the Completing the Mission finale, where several storylines and factions collide. That's exactly why you should play the collection as a whole instead of cherry-picking one chapter.

How it actually plays

The gameplay is pure “choose your own path”. At each step the game offers options, you tap one, and you either push the story forward or trigger a short failure animation (they're called Fails here, and there are hundreds). The goal is to clear every branch, unlock every ending, and collect all the fails and achievements. Several chapters split into fully different routes — brute force, cunning, or something completely unhinged. The replay value lives entirely in your urge to see “what happens if I press this”.

What you get and how we deliver it

You're buying a Steam gift — we send the collection straight to your account. The mechanic is simple: you provide a Steam friend invite link and your account region, and our bot adds itself, sends the gift, then leaves your friend list after delivery. You don't need to accept the friend request by hand, and Steam Guard isn't required either. The whole thing usually takes a couple of minutes from checkout.

Key condition — region and an empty library

For Steam to accept the gift, two things must line up: your Steam account region matches the gift region, and the collection isn't already in your library (Steam won't hand over a gift for a game you already own — the number-one cause of failed gifts). So at checkout pick the variant for your region and send it to an account that doesn't own Henry Stickmin yet. Also check that your profile privacy settings allow friend invites, otherwise the bot can't reach you.

Who it's for

You'll love it if you enjoy memey absurd humor, don't mind a short but dense game for a couple of evenings, and get a kick out of unlocking everything down to the last detail. If you dig Innersloth's style, check out Among Us from the same studio. And for the “charming hand-drawn indie with personality” mood, try Cuphead and Stardew Valley. But the signature “pick the most epic fail” humor lives only here.
