Keanu Reeves is Music Archivesreally good at stabbing people, at least in this bizarre and hilarious game called Absolutely: A True Crime Story.
In Absolutely: A True Crime Story, Keanu Reeves is accused of stabbing quite a few people and needs to convince the powers that be that he is innocent (or at least that he doesn't deserve a death sentence) by recounting his day.

Do you steal a car radio for a little girl? Do you direct a child to pirate episodes of Game of Thrones? Do you stab seven different people?

Keanu Reeves stabs seven people whether you want him to or not.
The game is insane, which is immediately apparent from the first two lines you're introduced to: "Welcome player. It's a fucking video game."
After picking a stat (which is useless), you guide Keanu Reeves through the rainy town of NoCrimesVille, helping people with their problems and fighting a handful of people in a turn-based RPG-style combat riddled with typos.

This is an inarguable fact. Wreden's next sentence, however -- "It is about a real criminal named Keanu Reeves" -- is probably not a fact.
All that said, this game was a great way to spend 10 minutes.
