I’ve said this many times that we love the weird games here at GameItAll and Exordium Games first full release game, Bear With Me, is definitely up this alley as it is a 2D Black and white “horror” Noire-Point and Click game coming to PC on August 8th which stars a cute hard as nails teddy bear detective.
You take control of 10-year-old Amber as she attempts to solve the mystery of her brothers disappearance. She is joined by Ted E. Bear, a stuffed toy bear that turns into a stoic, gravel-voiced detective inside her imagination, who helps her gather clues, solve puzzles and interview a cast of toys brought to life in a monochromatic Noire world. However, Amber brother’s disappearance isn’t the only mystery going on, as Paper City is plagued with strange events, with rumours of someone known as the Red Man starting fires everywhere.
Inspired by classics such as Monkey Island and Grim Fandango, Bear with Me is stated to balance its serious mysteries with sharp wit, cutting one-liners and puns that reference pop culture shared across movies and games.
“Bear With Me offers a classic point-and-click adventure with a dose of self-awareness; it revels in the genre’s trappings of absurd solutions and quirky characters and has a lot of fun with both,” said Andrej Kovacevic, Game Director, Exordium Games. “We also hope players find something within Bear With Me‘s greater message that resonates and stays in their minds long after they finish playing.”
