About This Game

Are you a fan of classic adventure games with over-the-top protagonists? Then look no further! A Little Less Desperation offers an epic space adventure filled with quirky characters, bizarre species, and challenging puzzles that hark back to the golden age of point-and-click adventure games.

The galaxy is threatened by powerful and evil forces, and only a ragtag band of alien rebels stand in their way. Lacking manpower, technology, knowledge and funding, this plucky band of misfits is in desperate need of a hero. Enter Harold, an alien whose spaceship has crashed on Earth. His only hope of salvation? Jacob, an organic vegetable farmer with zero technological know-how.

We won't spoil the story by telling you that both Jacob and Harold will be abducted into space to find out if they have the guts to stand up to evil and save the galaxy. Help Jacob on his quest, meeting lots of quirky characters, strange species and solving tons of classic adventure game puzzles, just like the good old days!

FEATURES

■ Classic 2.5D point-and-click gameplay: Immerse yourself in a nostalgic adventure filled with engaging puzzles and rich storytelling.

■ Stunning environments with a unique stlye: Explore beautifully crafted worlds that bring the galaxy to life.
