Smokey Mike is a narrative point-and-click adventure inspired by the classic LucasArts games, set in the chaotic early Buenos Aires comedy scene around 2010. You follow Paco, an aspiring comedian chasing something both simple and devastating at the same time: putting together five bulletproof minutes for an audition that could change his life.
Classic point-and-click actions (walk, look, talk, interact, plus inventory management).
The Confidence Meter determines what Paco can say or do at any given moment.
Everyday situations can become comedy material: collect ideas, unlock new venues where you can earn stage time, write new jokes in your notebook, and test them in front of unpredictable audiences.
The comedy world is a beautiful social zoo. You’ll meet fellow comedians (some kind, some not so much) all chasing the same ambition, along with people who help you, people who don’t, and maybe even love along the way.
The life of a comedian is full of constant highs and lows: one audience can make you feel like a rock star, while another can make you feel like complete garbage. There’s more than one way to reach the same destination. Some decisions can send you down entirely different paths. And there are two possible endings that completely change the meaning of the experience.
Smokey Mike is an interactive tragicomedy about ambition, insecurity, and the price of exposing yourself in front of others. It’s a universal story with a strong Buenos Aires identity, written and developed by a comedian with more than 15 years of real experience on stage.
Languages: Full voice and text support in English and Spanish. Additional text languages (German, French, Portuguese) are planned for the full release.
