On February 7th, Adult Swim Games, in conjunction with Necrophone Games, will be unleashing a first person… something entitled Jazzpunk into the world via Steam. Most games from AS look fun, or at least look like there’ll be some novelty to ‘em when you play. Jazzpunk though? Oh man. This looks cool. This looks real cool.
The Independent Games Festival-nominated Steam title is described as such on Steam:
Jazzpunk is a comedy adventure set in an alternate reality Cold War World, plagued with corporate espionage, CyberCrime, and sentient martinis. Gameplay is inspired by spoof comedy films and cartoons of yesteryear, with a focus on weird gadgets, exotic locales, and open-world style exploration.
The reviews on the Steam page praise it for being hilarious, and one (from PC Gamer) calls it “the next game to ask the question of what a game can be.”
Today, Swim has released a trailer for the game. It’s weird, it’s funny. Check it:
