16th, November 2023, Shropshire, UK: Tall Story Games has released the demo of its latest point & click pixel art adventure, Heir of the Dog - a hilariously British comedy adventure backed by the UK Games Fund.
Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Heir of the Dog invites you on a hilarious romp through the dark streets and back alleys of Victorian London, where you’ll discover talking lice, cannibalism, a secret society and rather a lot of dogs.
Replete with intricate, witty, and sardonic storytelling, Heir of the Dog, tells the story of bachelor and upper class twit, Cummerbund Bandersnatch. When visiting his uncle's laboratory, Bandersnatch discovers an experimental new formula guaranteeing a ‘good time’ for whoever drinks it. Seduced by the promises listed in his uncle's journal, he drinks the strange elixir and undergoes a monstrous transformation. Life will never be the same again.
Key features of Heir of the Dog, include:
Hilarious dialogue and narrative
Atmospheric and nostalgic pixel art style
Play as man, beast or dog and experience the extra senses and dirty habits they entail
Manipulate time to solve puzzles and discover new abilities
Uncover Victorian London’s most mysterious secret society
Single player gameplay
Choose between classic point & click or intuitive character-based movement
With development already in full swing, 50,000 pre-sale downloads and a Kickstarter campaign on the horizon, adventure game fans can look forward to putting this new British comedy adventure on their shelf in 2025.
The demo of Heir of the Dog is available to play right now on Steam.
