About This Project

Summary

Nutjob is a third-person shooter with stealth, basebuilding and planning mechanism - set in an apocalyptic world where Raccoons are in charge.
The tone and feel has an eerie Tim Burton-ish style, and the comedy is a mix between Monty Python and Monkey Island.

The story

Our hero, Buddy the Squirrel (name is a work in progress), wakes up and finds himself imprisoned by the Raccoons.
He can't remember how or why he got there, but he overhears the guards talking about his soon-to-be-executed…well, execution.

Buddy escapes, and the path leads him down a world he does not recognize. Everything and everyone feels strange to him. As he picks up the tale, or prophecy, of the mysterious Destroyer of Worlds, Buddy realizes it is up to him to save everyone from the evil Raccoons. A near impossible feat, but determined to succeed, he sets out to become the hero the world needs.

Gameplay

The game is a mix between Hitman's stealthy and tactical approaches, Mad Max's feel for the melee fighting scenarios and Inside when it comes to the eerie, inexplainable feeling the world has to it.

The player will find and upgrade weapons, skills, and build his home base, set up traps and use tactics and recon-missions to determine the best way to defeat the Racoons.
Sprinkled with lots of humor and comedy, this is a game you will love playing from start to end!
Now we just have to make it.
