Sammy Jukes: Twin Lakes Launches September 19

In a thrilling new twist on the classic adventure game formula, Sammy Jukes: Twin Lakes is set to launch on September 19 on both Steam and the Epic Games Store (EGS). This first-person, open-world detective adventure game takes players to the small town of Twin Lakes, Colorado, where a controversial oil pipeline construction is underway. As Detective Jukes, players will be tasked with uncovering the mystery behind the disappearance of local anti-oil activist Tammy Taylor after a heated protest.

The story draws inspiration from real-world headlines, with the “No More Oil” protest group clashing against the economic interests of the oil company. This generational conflict between environmentalist youths and their short-term economically focused parents adds layers of tension to the narrative. The town of Twin Lakes is filled with secrets, and each character Detective Jukes encounters has something to hide. Modeled after cult classics like Twin Peaks and True Detective, the game blends sincere drama with over-the-top silliness, promising a unique and engaging experience.

Sammy Jukes: Twin Lakes leverages the power of Unreal Engine 5 to bring life-like characters to the screen using Metahumans technology. The game features fully voiced dialogue for all 24 characters, totaling over 20,000 words recorded.
