What Oily Man is

Oily Man is an arcade game developed by Asylum House and released in 2017. It is available on Android and iOS. It runs on Unity 4.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Oily Man derives from the idea of Orang Minyak, from one of the Malay ghost myths, which is also very similar to the Grease devil in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). His body is covered in oil to make it harder to be caught if pursued. The game is about a minion raised by the Devil to be Oily Man but he doesn't want to do bad things and wants to escape this accursed fate.
