Sam & Max: This Time It’s Virtual! release date confirmed

by News Team on June 25, 2021

Big Sugar has announced the release date for Sam & Max: This Time It’s Virtual. The madcap VR adventure will launch July 8 on Oculus Quest. Sam is a dog in a suit. Max is his naked rabbity partner. Together, they’re the Freelance Police. Jump into the not-quite-right world of Sam & Max and join in their never-ending quest to slap the stupid grin off the face of evil.

You can see a video of an escape room-style challenge in the game here:

Steve Purcell, the creator of Sam & Max, who is consulting on the game design, art, and story, will – for the first time in the series’ history – play one of the game’s characters. Purcell will be lending his voice to the animatronic head of Duncan B. Dills, creator of the AquaBear Funtime Park.

Discover the horrible and socially relevant secrets lurking behind, under, and within Cap’n Aquabear’s rotting theme park.
Give evil scientists and demonic trespassers their just desserts… with sprinkles.
