Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator, in case you’ve not heard of it, is a game that came out in January this year. It’s about trading stocks based on babies. Its developers, Strange Scaffold, have just formally announced the next game they’re bringing out. It’s called Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World?! and is about a magical delivery lorry helping a woman whose consciousness has been punted into another world.
“Carissa Ward was all set to start her new job as the VP of marketing – until YOU hit her with your truck and transported her consciousness to a world of fantasy and magic,” reads the synopsis of this surreal racer/platformer . “Rather than accept her fate, gathering a party and going on a journey of growth and self-discovery, Carissa uses all her knowledge of anime tropes and Japanese RPGs to find a different path: Unrepentant vehicular manslaughter.
“Pressed into the service of the newly-incarnated buff anime elf, you’ll speed your magic delivery truck to complete objectives across two worlds, running over pedestrians, sending them to another world as Truck-kun, and helping Carissa power up a Galactic Gate with the stars you generate together. The Skeleton King waits on the other end of the great divide, and the only way Carissa is getting home is to take a Scroll of Resurrection from his weird, dead, bony hands.”
Yep, sounds and looks like a video game. As much as finding comparisons for this game I’m now christening TISMFAW?! is understandably tough, but from the trailer I’d say it looks a bit like Promise Mascot Agency‘s lorry has been warped into the Burnout universe and its destruction is helping an armoured lady play Final Fantasy in a different tab.
Will it be any good? Quite possibly. Will it be a laugh? Almost certainly. Does it have “a giant, screaming man whose meat you can legally drive through”. Yes, though before you get too excited it seems he’s just had a tunnel put through his pelvis.
As for system requirements, Strange Scaffold have confirmed that they would like you to have a sound card, but otherwise it looks like it’ll run on pretty much any PC with Windows 10.
There’s no official release date for yet TISMFAW?!, but it’s supposed to be coming later this year and can be wishlisted on Steam.
