Viewers of last weekend’s Future Games Show were lucky enough to have their minds blown by the first official trailer (seen above) for Thunderbox Entertainment’s irreverent, new, digital board game: the sci-fi strategy adventure known throughout the galaxy as… The Captain is Dead.
Channeling the vibe of a highly-informative board game PSA, the video featured mustaches, robots, synthesizers, ZX Spectrums, mullets, and laser beams: all the classic hallmarks of a quality trailer! There may also be some moderately entertaining gameplay footage in there somewhere…
Now then… A few eagle-eared viewers have already recognized the dulcet tones of the trailer’s voice-over as belonging to none other than Mr. Kevan Brighting, an actor much-loved in gaming circles for his spine-tingling work as the mysterious narrator from amazing, indie weird-em-up, The Stanley Parable.
Thunderbox have confirmed that Kevan will indeed be lending his mellifluous vocals to The Captain is Dead in the role of a brand-new character, created exclusively for the digital edition of the game. Details on this new character remain sparse… all we know is that he’s best described as a cross between your least favorite uncle, Ming the Merciless, and Q from Star Trek The Next Generation. It’s OK though: he’s one of the good guys…
…or is he?
The only way to find out for sure is to head on over to Steam and download the free demo!
But don’t procrastinate… The demo will turn into an unplayable pumpkin when the Steam Summer Games Festival draws to a close on June 22.
