The Pizza Delivery Boy Who Saved The World aims to take players on a semi-autobiographical look at pizza delivery life. Well, except for the time travel part. Maybe?
Doug is a twenty-something who takes a lot of guff from his raging boss and scorn from his younger coworkers, dealing with all that while also trying to manage the actually-dangerous customers that come with being a pizza delivery boy. It’s still honest work in this funny visual novel, with players striving to survive the day-to-day troubles that come with cutting pizzas properly, dealing with dopey customers, or avoiding the naked guy who wants you to deliver his meal.
Players aren’t just tangled up with the nuances of pizza creation and transportation, though. A time travelling version of Doug, or someone who claims to be, suddenly shows up in our beleaguered delivery boy’s life, telling him the internet is in danger and only he can save it from a company with an “unhealthy fixation on cat experimentation.” It’s a lot to do, but ensures some never-ending hijinks and low-jinks as players try to hold down a job AND save the internet.
Developed by Oh, A Rock! Studios, developers of serious, stoic titles about the terrors that come to the door in The Awkward Steve Duology, the horrors of spam email in The Francy Droo & Friends Collection, and the oh-so-much-better-alternate-timeline of Cat President, The Pizza Boy Who Saved The World promises some prime, prime goofiness alongside an experience in poorly-paid work we can likely all identify with.
The Pizza Delivery Boy Who Saved the World is available for $5.99 on Steam.
