“Hideo Kojima, please unblock my number.” The opening title sequence reads before the actual teaser plays out. But then, that’s not the end of the Kojima references as theJust Die Alreadyteaser continues to play out in a way mimicking thatDeath Strandingtrailer that featured a naked Norman Reedus on a beach.
Developed by DoubleMoose, the sandbox game has you playing as an elderly person, able to wander the world and assault other, younger human beings. The story is set within a near-future world where people aren’t procreating because they’re wanting to play video games more than do the naughty bed thing. As an old person who has been kicked out of their retirement home, it’s up to you to complete challenges to earn retirement tickets to qualify for free retirement care.
Last month, anannouncement trailershowed off what sort of gameplay you can expect fromJust Die Already, such as wacky, comical antics, and character customization. If you think the gameplay looks familiar to something, you’d be right. It’s being developed by the designers behindGoat Simulator.
Released yesterday, the above teaser trailer was revealed and after asking Hideo Kojima to unblockDoubleMoose co-founder’snumber, the rest of the trailer plays out in a similar way to thatDeath Strandingtrailer.You’ve got the sweeping shot going across a beach, crustacean carcasses scattered around, and eventually, you wind up with a naked person, crawling to their knees and cradling a…what is that? A long sausage?
A camera eventually tilts upwards to reveal theJust Die Alreadylogo and then fades to the outro which contains a message for Kojima. The message, mostly being random fan-like comments about wanting to be friends with him, but it also mentions, “we added you to the credits ofGoat Simlike 6 years ago, it’s true, you may look it up.” If I can just point out though, the officialTwitter account for the studiodoesn’t even follow Hideo Kojima.
At current, it looks as ifJust Die Alreadyis only to be available on PC at some point this Summer. On June 16, a playable demo should be available which will be available until June 22.
