Never in my life did I think I'd encounter a lead heroine who would randomly spout nonsense like "Vegetable Soup" mid-conversation or threaten people with the fact she had taken a refrigerator head on. Then again, neither did I think I would encounter a game like The Next Best Thing. To say that Pendulo Studios' new animated point-and-click adventure is hilarious would be to miss the perfect opportunity to call it "completely, mind-bendingly insane." In a good way, of course.
Pendulo Studios has released a playable demo of its upcoming PC adventure game The Next Big Thing that gives players a taste of the game in advance of its April 21 launch. The demo puts you in the shoes of young Liz Allaire, one of the game's two playable characters, in the midst of a journalistic investigation with her colleague Dan Murray. The Horror Night Ceremony is in full swing, and while our journalist duo is covering the event, Liz stubmles upon some suspicious activity. She witnesses the famous Hollywood monster-actor Big Albert breaking into the office of his boss, Fitz Randolph, who also happens to be the biggest horror movie producer in the biz. Download the demo from the game's official website.
After meeting main character Liz Allaire a few weeks back, players can now view the first footage of her charismatic partner Dan Murray, the other playable character in Pendulo Studios' upcoming adventure game The Next Big Thing. Brand new video and screenshots behind the cut!
