Clam Man

Released: 5/23/2019

Clam Man is a game built around jokes and a strange, absurd narrative! It has weird characters, tons of puns, and a handful of puzzles; but the focus of the game is definitely dialogue! Examining the world, talking to characters and taking it easy: If that sounds like your thing, this might just be the game for you! STORY Clam Man is the story of the Clam Man. Intriguing, isn't it? Yes, it's true - he is a clam and yet also a man. This is not a topic of debate, it is fact. We've confirmed it while working on this game. Using science. "He certainly is a clam man." - Playtester Thank You, Playtester - we couldn't agree more. But to be more specific: This is the story of a man, recently promoted to junior sales representative, enjoying the comforts and leisure of lower-mid-level office work. However, things suddenly take a turn for the worse, and the Clam Man is cast into an adventure full of danger, suspicion, and mystery. Join him, as he unravels the conspiracy behind the tragic event that befalls him, and fight to restore CLAMMY JUSTICE to the world of Snacky Bay. FEATURES A story full of twists and turns and a huge amount of strange jokes! More than 20 unique and strange characters to interact with! (I really like the jellyfish personally) A spectacular original soundtrack! Lots of plants Umm Phone calls! Puzzles! Knots! The most evil bad guy in the history of evil bad guys Anime fight scene! Our boys in blue! And of course, a duck.
