Clam Man is an absurd adventure game about condiment crimes, undersea puns, and shellfish jokes. Expect a lot of silliness with your pointing and clicking with this one.
Losing your job as junior sales representative at a mayonnaise company is likely a stunning blow for Clam Man, but somehow, he’ll probably get by. Still, the events that cost you your job will drag you into an ever goofier world of duck conspiracies, knot funnies, and other ridiculous things.
Clam Man is one of those adventure games that beg you to get lost within it, simply looking at everything in the environment and enjoying the jokes the developers hid within it. Everything you glance at or pass by is some sort of silly thing, offering countless little silly moments and things to unearth. It’s a joy just to walk around and look at everything to see what sort of funny quote or joke is hidden within. It’s also a pleasure to meet the many silly characters that inhabit the world, as they have just as many laughs to offer.
Clam Man is clearly designed to make the player crack up at every opportunity. It’s just wall-to-wall jokes and goofy humor, all tied together with a charming story about a clam man out for justice. Well, assuming you can keep on track to finding that justice and not get sidetracked dancing with jellyfish in the street. Mayonnaise-based crimes aren’t exactly pressing, though, so maybe take a bit of time to just enjoy yourself and savor in the laughter.
Clam Man is available now on itch.io and Steam.
