Rules are simple:
  1. You have to describe the game in 1 sentence
  2. it can't be too obvious, but try not to be too vague.
  3. it can't be an outright lie
  4. Answers in spoilers, in case the description is spoilers.

Here's a batch to get started.

1. A dead guy bosses his diva of a girlfriend around as she goes on a murder spree and saves no one.
Transistor

2. A construction guy steals valuables from animals for his time machine while foreigners try to do the same to him.

3. A homeless guy tries to save his girlfriend with a gardening implement.
Shovel Knight

4. A construction man goes around the world punching swords in the face.
Super Mario RPG

5. A guy tries to go for the ol' Sitcom double-date with deadly implications.

    Transistor? Although it's somewhat unclear to me exactly how death really works under the circumstances in that particular cyberpunk dystopia.
