A new comedy Adventure Game - “Blackout on Oasis Station” from Jonathan Ackley and Larry Ahern, the creators of The Curse of Monkey Island.

He’s the butler of the most brilliant scientist in the solar system, the designer of the crucial water mining station on Saturn’s moon, Titan. When communication between Earth and Oasis Station is lost, the Solar System Space Directorate organizes a secret mission to discover the cause. But somehow…it’s Remly who is sent to investigate. Working with me on this game are my old Curse of Monkey Island partner Larry Ahern and independent adventure game creator Jordi Puigdellívol.

[Entrevista] Larry Ahern no Canal 3 Expo - Jam Games

we’re presenting the game as “The Pink Panther meets Alien .” It’s a comedic character in the style of the Inspector Clouseau movies, but within a serious science fiction world.

The visuals are looking great but cyberpunk again? There were so many cyberpunk adventures in the recent past.

I wonder why so many adventure game designer select cyberpunk or mystery as their theme.

Well yeah, but I guess you could replace cyberpunk with almost any subgenre and would not be wrong :slight_smile:.

Though I think I haven’t seen many (high) fantasy / medieval-themed games these past years. Even something like Near-Mage was basically modern day / urban fantasy.

The Kingdom Come and Plague Tale franchises are both pretty big.

I assume @Someone was referring specifically to P&C adventures. At least I was.

But yeah, if you look at (c)RPGs, Action or Strategy games, there’s plenty of fantasy or medieval stuff to be found.

Cyberpunk has become the low hanging fruit of adventure game storytelling. And high fantasies were always the low hanging fruit of CRPG storytelling.

Yes. There are many settings and themes that weren’t used (often) in an adventure game. For example there are not much adventure games set in a hospital - the only one I remember is Edna. AFAIR Eco Quest was the last one covering diving and the deep sea.
/edit: And don’t forget Lobots! :wink:
