Publisher Black Lantern Collective and developer Mahelyk are excited to announce that GlitchSPANKR is now available on PC via Steam! The genre-bending narrative adventure that mixes humour, creeping dread and hidden mysteries, all under the guise of a floppy pink hand, that is waiting for you to uncover its secrets.
You’re a kid in the 90s who finds an old copy of Big Booty Slapper 6 on your mum’s PC, and you boot it up (which is likely to be a mistake). This turns into a spiralling nightmare when a virus named Spunk infects the game, warping the code, and possibly you if you’re not careful. Armed only with a floppy pink SpankStick, you’ll slap your way through corrupted levels, bargain with Spunk, and uncover a story that is equal parts hilarious, yet also very unsettling.
Although the technology and ambition push well beyond what the 90s could have offered, the spirit of GlitchSPANKR lies firmly in that decade. It is a love letter to a time when computers still felt mysterious, when there were no phones buzzing in our pockets, and when playing a new game meant stepping into the unknown.
“With all the stresses and fears of modern day, I wanted to bring back those feelings of better, more innocent times. Playing games where you had no idea what to expect, searching every corner for secrets, stumbling onto mysteries with no responsibilities to worry about.” – Says Kyle.
Will you befriend Spunk, or try to destroy him? Or will you stumble upon something powerful and evil, hidden behind the humour?
