Do you recognise this game? Were you a bit too online in Perth in 2009?

you may be entitled to compensation I want to know what you know!

this Source mod, Spragoon George's Slazenger, or the Folly of Man: Transcendence of the Goonrift, is a heady mix of online culture of its day (for better and, in many cases, worse), featuring memes, a gun that swears, some stolen content, and a very particular bus stop bench and thereupon advertised realtor, among other hyperlocal content from Perth, Western Australia

'apolaroid', a promotional image posted for the game in May 2010, featuring a person in a black suit lying on the ground, and a standing person in a white lab coat pointing guns at each other. They are wearing masks, the suited person's mask features the face of Paul Tonich, a realtor from Perth, Western Australia, and the other features Jason Bateman, with facial features lazily edited such that the right eye is a digital SLR, the left eye is the Lipton logo, and the mouth is the 'give a smile' logo of the Australian society of orthodontists.

I'm pretty sure this bus stop bench was on Morley Drive or Wanneroo Road.

Playable Boxxy is a pretty rare videogame feature. And yes, your energy is "Mojo".

Screenshot of the game showing a player with the combine player model surrounded by bullet impact decals which are, variously, Pizza Hut logos, pokéballs, and the Chicken Treat logo

Has any other game or mod in history featured the Chicken Treat logo? I honestly don't think so.

unfortunately this mod's site has rotted from the web, and the creators were pretty coy about who they were

if you have any context on the production or context of this mod please reach out, I honestly think this mod needs a deep dive and I don't see anyone else doing it, so…
