RAM: Random Access Mayhem is a 2024 early access 2D action roguelike shooter created by Canadian indie developers Andrew Cunningham and Toby Murray. The game has "no player character", and instead, the player controls an enemy and swaps to new "hosts" after their previous one dies.

On March 20, 2024, RAM won the Independent Games Festival's community-driven Audience Award at the 2024 IGF Awards Ceremony,[1] an award previously won by games like Minecraft, The Stanley Parable, Undertale, and, coincidentally, FTL: Faster Than Light, a similar 'two-man team'-led strategy roguelike with a humorously similar naming convention.
