Wamill Games is proud to announce the release of Sammy Jukes: Twin Lakes on Steam.
About the game:
- A first-person, open-world adventure game set in the small town of Twin Lakes, Colorado where a Keystone XL type oil pipeline construction is underway. A local anti-oil activist, Tammy Taylor, is reported missing after a protest and Detective Sammy Jukes is sent to find her.
- The game takes about 6 to 8 hours to finish.
- The tone is mostly casual and comedic with short outbursts of real emotion sprinkled in.
- Fans of classic adventure games, story driven / narrative games and true crime watchers will especially enjoy this game. Games with similar vibes include: Life is Strange, The Walking Dead, Heavy Rain, Thimbleweed Park, Paradise Killer.
The Story:
- Inspired by the headlines: “No More Oil”, a protest group inspired by the “Just Stop Oil” movement, clashes with the oil company.
- Generational conflict: Environmentalist young people are against their parents who are more concerned with the short-term economics of the pipeline.
- Small town, big secrets: Each character has something they are hiding from the detective. Story has many twists and turns along the way. Nothing is ever like what they seem.
- Setting the tone: Modeled after Twin Peaks and True Detective, and then injected with a dose of classic adventure game insanity, the game offers sincere drama and over the top silliness.
- Law abiding adventure: Finally, a detective story that respects civil rights! Detective Jukes is a by-the-book cop. The player will need to follow the correct procedure and obtain search warrants when justified.
