Steam has enjoyed its fair share of absolutely off-the-wall games from developers of all shapes and sizes over the years, so much so that the platform was known for their prevalence in every genre on the storefront for a while.
Clicker games are often a good example of this, from Banana, that maintained its position in the top 10 charts for months, to the OG of the genre Cookie Clicker, it has often emerged that the weirder, the better as far as Steam users are concerned.
The newest entrant in the ongoing mad games competition is Cheese Rolling, which tasks players with chasing a big wheel of cheese down a hill with their little ragdoll character. Gravity does most of the work, so all you need to do is reach for the cheese when you get close.
The fun part is that it's an up to 8-person multiplayer game, so you can take on friends and other players to become the ultimate in fromage grabbing technology.

The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that Cheese Rolling is essentially a recreation of the annual Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake in Gloucestershire, in which hundreds of actual people launch themselves down the steepest hill you've ever seen, just to potentially win a wheel of cheese.
That competition has been going on in some form for centuries, so it's nice to see it immortalised in digital form for those who can't make the real thing.
It's also genuinely hilarious to watch eight little characters get into all sorts of mischief on the way down the hill, so that's a positive point on the overall scoreboard. The best news is that it's totally free to play, so you and your friends (or enemies) can have a great time with absolutely no outlay on your part.
