If Her Majesty’s SPIFFING is anything to go by, Britain’s future involves embarking on a journey to the stars (in whatever tin-pot craft we cans get our hands on). Yes, in the years ahead, SPIFFING predicts the UK will set out to conquer planet after planet in a bid to establish a new galactic empire, all the while subtly undermining the French at every turn.

Well, assuming there’s plenty of time to sup on cups of tea along the way, that is.

Accompanied by Sub-Lieutenant Aled Jones you’ll take to the galaxy on board the HMSS Imperialise in this modern interpretation of a classic point-and-click adventure where puzzle solving is intermingled with some hilarious wit and sharp one liners. Well, they made us laugh in the office, though that could be down to a complete lack of sleep over the last few years.

Taking direct control of English with a gamepad in place of directing with a mouse, SPIFFING features a mixture of physical and mental puzzles and often somewhat self-deprecating humour (blatantly plagiarised from/paying homage to everything from Monty Python to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy). In short, it’s about as British as a game can be, in that it deftly undermines everything we hold dear about coming from this damp collection of islands in the darkest corner of Europe from start to finish.

Billy Goat Entertainment is both excited and proud to announce that Her Majesty’s SPIFFING - the jovial point-and-click adventure charging players with establishing a new Galactic British Empire - will be making the leap to Nintendo’s all-conquering Switch on February 2nd 2018.

Having already made its mark on PS4 and Xbox One it’s now Nintendo Switch’s turn to play host to the weird and delightfully witty tale of ol’ Blighty venturing off into the stars, using whatever ragtag craft it can get its hands on!

Switch gamers will now be able to take charge of Captain Frank Lee English in their living rooms or on the go as he (along with his insightful Welsh colleague, Aled) takes to the stars on board the HMSS Imperialise in this modern interpretation of a classic point-and-click. All while sipping cups of tea and, of course, antagonising the French.

“People should buy SPIFFING because I overdid it at Christmas and could do with the cash,” says William Barr, Writer of the game and Director of Belfast-based studio, Billy Goat Entertainment Ltd.

“The game takes inspiration from/plagiarises everything from Monty Python to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. In short, it’s about as British as a game can be, in that it deftly undermines everything we hold dear about this damp collection of islands from beginning to end.”

Currently available for PS4, Xbox One and PC, Her Majesty's SPIFFING is coming to Nintendo Switch on February 2, 2018.
