In a dynamic 3D hack-and-slash, become a blind samurai who uses echolocation to ‘see’ the world in sound contours and wields time manipulation. Play in the world after the invention of a time machine that sends people only to the future with no way back.
Vehicle (car), drive around and kill zombies (mutants, creatures), upgrade the vehicle to handle the increasingly harder waves of enemies. Players need to activate generators to open up the path up to the mountain and to escape the infected facility.
The Social Grip: Llama Drama is a second-person perspective stealth game and is a continuation of last year’s The Social Grip. Almost every part of the game has been given a close look and is being updated. In each level players will have to switch between the security cameras to move the main character Dan around. Players, will have to think carefully on when and where to move and how to avoid the guards patrolling the levels. The original grid-based movement has been replaced with more responsive point-and-click movement. Our art team has also taken a close look at last year’s art style and are working on an improved art style. Finally, we are planning to introduce new mechanics and goals such as collecting evidence and hacking into elements of the environment.
The Social Grip: Llama Drama was awarded The Almedalen Library Award at the Gotland Game Conference 2024.
