The latest installment of Leisure Suit Larry has just received its first gameplay trailer. Leisure Suit Larry Wet Dreams Don’t Dry is a direct sequel to the 1987 original and is due to release on PC and Mac on November 7 2018.
The gameplay trailer goes into a good amount of detail regarding the game’s plot and gameplay. As you can see above, Wet Dreams Don’t Dry takes Larry out of the 80s and straight into the 21st century. You’ll be solving puzzles with the traditional point-and-click gameplay, helping Larry acclimatize to his new surroundings and dating women using the in-game dating app “Timber.”
Larry will travel through a “non-linear game world set in modern times with over 30 hand-drawn venues” to explore. It’s up to you to find out what mega-corporation Prune is up to. The times have changed, however, how will Larry respond with his, err, outdated worldview?
The official press release goes into a lot of detail:
“Hey ladies, I’m back in business! My new adventure, Leisure Suit Larry – Wet Dreams Don’t Dry, takes me – whatever the route or twist of fate – from the end of the ’80s directly to the 21st Century and wow, how the world has changed! While my view of the world and women from way back in the 1980s collides with modern reality, I’m all set to date my way across the modern world!
In a “point & click” adventure I’d call typical for the genre, we mutually experience how I fall head-over-heels in love with Faith, the assistant to the boss at Prune, a technology enterprise successful worldwide. Since even dating is done digitally nowadays, the first thing I have to do is to work on my score at Timber, the totally hip, can’t-get-anywhere-without-it dating app where I date women, satisfy their needs, and accordingly pick up points for my Timber profile. And whenever I get a chance in between, briefly check out a few new bikini pix at Instacrap – the 21st century is gnarly!”
Assemble Entertainment will be livestreaming Leisure Suit Larry Wet Dreams Don’t Dry today. Head on over to their official livestream which begins at 4 p.m. UTC to see more of the game in action.
