For gamers of a certain age, the idea of LAN parties will definitely bring back some sweet memories. Having a group of friends gathered around a bunch of computer towers blasting hot air and boxy monitors, there is nothing quite like it. That’s the nostalgic feeling that Pchujoy Games and LEAP Game Studios are trying to capture with LAN Party Adventures, but with a mysterious twist added.
The single-player adventure that blends storytelling and simulation was revealed at the Future Games Show Live, and is set to come to PC sometime in 2025.
In LAN Party Adventures, players are tasked with setting up LAN parties in various locations and managing all the requirements. From handling the hardware to plugging the cables, setting up the software, and getting the computers to talk to each other. The simulation is just one part of the fun, however.
With a friend going missing, you will also to collaborate, solve puzzles, and follow digital clues. Each new LAN party brings fresh challenges to solve and pieces of the mystery to uncover, as well as a new opportunity to make them larger and funnier by unlocking upgrades and tools.
“We’ve been crafting LAN Party Adventures in secret, and we’re excited to finally share it with the world,” said Gabriel Shimabuko, producer. “Our goal is to evoke cherished memories of old-school LAN parties while offering a compelling mystery for players to solve together.”
If that’s not your thing, LAN Party Adventures also has a Sandbox mode, complete with retro-inspired posters, customisable computers, and endless accessories. This creative mode will not limit creativity and will give players all the tools to set up great setups, from small net cafes to massive events. This should allow players to live their dreams that were impossible in the past.
LAN Party Adventures is scheduled for release on PC via Steam in 2025.
