Devolver Digital in coordination with Mega Cat Studios & the Take This organization have created their first ever SNES game which brings light in an entertaining and humorous way to the very real problem of “crunch time” in the gaming industry.
For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it refers to the period of time when developers, must push themselves, sometimes to extremes, in order to meet a very tight deadline.
The storyline of the game follows the now infamous mascot of Devolver Digital, CFO Fork Parker, who is demanding his team of developers do whatever they must in order to beat the competition in the world of indie publishing.
In the game, players will take charge of the company, motivating employees with crazy tactics, making decisions on how to spend those hard earned profits, balancing work life with personal, and much more.
Devolver Digital has declared that 100% of the game’s profits will go to the Take This organization, a charity focused on bringing awareness to mental health issues and offering help to those in need.
For anyone interested in pre-purchasing the game, there are 2 options from which to choose.
A standard edition is available for $49.99, that comes complete with the SNES cartridge and box.
There’s also a $149 special cartridge, shaped like a desktop, with a coffee mug and light-up LED screen.
If you do want to add this game to your collection, you’ll probably need to act fast because quantities are very limited.
The game is expected to ship sometime this Fall.
If you’d like to know more about the Take This charity, you can read all about them, on their official website.
