'Randal's Monday' Pre-Order Gets You Free Bonus Game

by Rainier on Nov. 5, 2014 @ 8:47 a.m. PST

Randal's Monday is a comic humor point & geek adventure that centers around geek and pop culture references from the 1990s and early 2000s, and gives a pretty authentic insight into how hard it is to overcome these stupid days of each week.

Randal is the best main character one can ever imagine: he’s kleptomaniac, a sociopath and an awful friend above all.

After his friend Matt’s engagement party, waking up on a Monday morning with a massive hang over, Randal finds Matt’s wallet in his pocket. Inside the wallet, there’s that really precious engagement ring.

It doesn’t take Randal much and long to sell the ring – triggering a fatal curse: Matt commits suicide, and Randal is now supposed to live through the same fateful Monday again and again, doing whatever is needed in order to fix the horrible situation. Randal must recover the one precious ring and his life, before the situation worsens… or the universe collapses.

Randal’s Monday features cynical humor, geek culture references and classic point & click adventure gameplay at its best: The game pays tribute to a generation of gamers, readers and viewers of subculture media products. Players will find countless items and references to things they grew up with. Retro video gaming consoles, anyone? Your favorite movies and TV series from the 80s, 90s and 2000s? It’s all in there! Take your time and pixel-hunt each screen for everything that’s in there – whereas the adventure gameplay takes care to use all of today’s comfort features, of course.

All pre-order purchases on Steam receive a free copy of the Daedalic classic, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout, while fans pre-ordering on GOG.com can choose between Edna & Harvey: The Breakout, Deponia or A New Beginning: Final Cut.

For $24.99 USD, the digital editions of Randal’s Monday will include the game for PC & Mac, as well as an extended interview with Clerks-Stars Jeff Anderson and Jason Mewes, who are both voice-acting in the game, a digital calendar and the soundtrack.
