Roger Kills The Smiths

What happens when a mild-mannered alien sidekick decides his host family has to go? Roger KILLS The Smiths, a violent parody game from developer David Mills, answers that question directly by putting you in control of Roger as he embodies his most destructive alter ego, Ricky Spanish, and turns an ordinary suburban house into a hunting ground.

Playing as Roger Through the Smith Residence

The premise is intentionally blunt: explore the house, find weapons scattered through its rooms, and take down each member of the household one at a time. Weapons range from knives and hammers to shooting weapons, and the game encourages experimentation rather than settling on a single loadout, since different rooms and different targets reward different approaches.

Klaus, the family’s fish-bodied member, gets particular attention in the game’s design, with multiple environmental finishers scattered throughout the house specifically built around him. Community discussion frequently centers on which of these finishers players have found and which they’re still missing, since the game doesn’t map them all out for you.

What beginners get wrong on a first run is rushing straight for confrontation. Several players have reported dying almost immediately after starting, shot down before landing a single kill, simply because they didn’t scope out the house’s layout first. Slower, more deliberate exploration tends to produce a far more successful run than an aggressive opening.

Hidden Posters and the Secret Mode

Six hidden posters are tucked around the environment, and finding all of them unlocks a secret mode, a collectible hunt that’s become one of the most discussed side objectives in the game’s comment threads. Some players have gone further, discovering an entirely separate hidden room referencing another entry in the same “KILLS” series, a detail that wasn’t advertised anywhere and was only found through pure exploration.

• Explore rooms fully before engaging targets, since weapons and posters are often tucked in easily missed corners
• Pay attention to Klaus specifically, since his environmental finishers are more elaborate than the rest of the cast’s
• Check for a hidden room referencing the developer’s other “KILLS” titles, since it isn’t signposted anywhere in the main house

Completionist players tend to spend far longer per run than players simply chasing the fastest possible clear, since poster collection and secret room discovery both demand backtracking through areas that aren’t strictly necessary for finishing the game. Speed-focused players, by contrast, often skip Klaus’s more elaborate finishers entirely in favor of the fastest available takedown.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Roger KILLS The Smiths connected to other games by the same developer?

Yes, it’s part of a series that includes similarly styled parody games built around other animated households, and a hidden room references at least one of them directly.

A rushed run can be finished quickly, but hunting all six hidden posters and Klaus’s environmental finishers typically stretches a playthrough considerably longer.

Roger KILLS The Smiths doesn’t pretend to be anything more than what it is, a gleefully over-the-top parody built around exploration, collectibles, and creative takedowns. Whether you’re chasing every poster or just trying to get through the house without getting shot on sight, Klaus’s fate in this game is rarely a quiet one.
