Return to 1982 and enter a world of salesmanship, crime and desperation in a game inspired by classic movies of the eighties and nineties.
Part drama, part satire, part life of a salesman and part murder mystery, Dirty Land is a story-driven adventure about desperate people and criminal behavior in an era when greed was good.
Dirty Land casts players as Frank Marsh, a newly-hired salesman for Pure Sky Properties – a real estate office where coffee is for closers and the goal is selling worthless swampland to unsuspecting buyers for a profit. Will you discard your ethics to make a quick buck for you and your family, or will you take the high road and find a way to carve out an honest living?
Dirty Land has been in development for more than two years already, and has just launched on Kickstarter in the hope of bringing it to PC and Mac, then later Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and Mobile!
Interested fans can back the Dirty Land Kickstarter now (looking to raise $30,028) and get involved from as little as $1, or support the IndieGoGo campaign.
