Hold My Beer, The Game!

Remember back in May of last year, when I said we were developing a tie-in video game for Hold My Beer? Well, it's here!

As promised, it's an arcade-style minigame in which the player's job is to wash kegs before time runs out. It's meant to be only a small portion of a much larger, Zelda-style adventure game set in a village called "Vanwa," which is either a future, post-apocalyptic Vancouver, WA, or is in another world or dimension that has been influenced by the Hold My Beer film, Galaxy Quest-style.

The player starts out as an apprentice brewer at "Oowi Brewy" (based on Loowit Brewing Company) whose job is to wash kegs, but dreams of one day becoming a great brewmaster who owns their own brewpub, just like "Master Val" of the "Legend of H.M.B." (see what I did there). Their fellow apprentices ridicule their dream, saying that the "Legend of H.M.B." is just an old children's fairy tale. But then one day, fate intervenes, and the player is sent off on a quest that includes stops at locations like "Cafe Zetheba," based on Seize the Bagel, "Redab's Supply Store," based on Bader Beer & Wine Supply, and "Pear-Air Hall," based on the Pearson Air Museum's Historic Hangar. Our goal is to secure enough funding that we can develop this larger game concept and provide employment opportunities for autistic and neurodivergent people who want to work in the video game industry.

In the meantime, you can play the minigame on the official Hold My Beer website at this link!
