"Lunduke's Quest" -- a new (nerdy) adventure game for Linux, Mac, Haiku, Amiga, & more.
Quite possibly the nerdiest adventure game ever created.
I am ridiculously excited to announce the upcoming release of a brand new, point and click adventure game:
Lunduke’s Quest
Made in the style of the classic Lucas Arts and Sierra adventure games, “Lunduke’s Quest” is playable on Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, Haiku OS, AmigaOS, and anywhere else that has a modern port of ScummVM.
“Lunduke’s Quest” features:
Gorgeous 320x200 graphics!
A soundtrack than can technically be classified as “a soundtrack”!
An almost insane number of nerdy dad jokes!
References to old computers that most people probably have never even heard of!
An in-game PDA running Linux (seriously)!
Think of “Lunduke’s Quest” like a combination of “Space Quest” and “Monkey Island”… except about computers. Also, there’s a goat.
How to Get “Lunduke’s Quest”
“Lunduke’s Quest” will be released, as a totally free game for all full subscribers of The Lunduke Journal.
The full game will be released during the month of May (currently targeting the second week of May). All full subscribers to The Lunduke Journal will get a full, complimentary copy of the game on release day!
If you’re not already a subscriber to The Lunduke Journal, hop on that. Perks included 10 DRM-free, nerdy books, multiple video games, exclusive articles and podcasts. It is extremely rad.
Cool Note: Founding Member Subscribers to The Lunduke Journal (who subscribe by April 30th) will get their name included in the credits. Preserved, in a classic style adventure game, for all eternity.
Here’s some more screenshots to whet your appetite:
