Gopher: the Game
January 18th, 2010 by egottlie“Gopher” will be an open-sandbox action game about… being someone’s gopher. You gopher lattes. You gopher copies. You gopher pizza and wings.
The game follows your career, starting at your first internship in undergrad, in media theory. You spend years in university, and whenever you try to get an internship or co-op you end up at a large media corporation with a remarkable resemblance to Fox News.
You parkour your way through a wide-open world to get the random stuff your boss wants. As the game goes on, you acquire skills like waving a press pass, stealing vehicles, causing a spectacle, hand-to-hand combat, and even short-range teleportation. Your ultimate goal… TO TAKE OVER THE COMPANY!!!!
Jump rooftops, misdirect crowds, infiltrate secret locations, ride subway cars on the roofs… and become the one, the only, THE ULTIMATE GOPHER! And at last the CEO of a major media corporation.
