Why? Who even knows, except maybe the somewhat appropriately named studio responsible for this anachronistic cringepocalypse, CrazyBunch.
Coming (obligatory “huehuehue”) out on PC sometime this year, Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry promises to be exactly as awkward and embarrassing as you’d expect.
“While my view of the world and women from way back in the 1980s collides with modern reality harder than the breasts of a lusciously stacked blonde jogging along a beach, I’m all set to date my way across the modern world,” the game’s Steam blurb reads, like it’s still actually 1980 but not ironically.
“In a ‘point & click’ adventure I’d call typical for the genre we mutually experience how I fall head-over-heels in love with Faith, the hot-to-trot assistant to the boss at Prune, a technology enterprise successful worldwide. Since even dating is done digitally nowadays, the first thing I have to do is to work on my score at Timber, the totally hip, can’t-get-anywhere-without-it dating app where I date women, satisfy their needs, and accordingly pick up points for my Timber profile. And whenever I get a chance in between, always briefly check out a few new bikini pix at Instacrap – the 21st century is gnarly smill!”
Timber and Instacrap, get it? So gnarly smill.
Okay.
