Geeks And Groundhogs: Randal's Monday

Point and Repeat

Randal's Monday is a point and click adventure starring a man doomed to repeat the same dreadful Monday over and over again. John first spotted it in December 2012 and I theorise that development has been stuck in a loop similar to the fictional one in the game's plot since then. Now, a press release informs me that Daedalic have picked the game up for distribution and it'll be out in the third quarter of this year. Packed with game, TV and movie references, Randal's Monday is a "homage to geek culture". However, I reckon it grabbed the attention of the Deponia developers by including a main character who is described as "a kleptomaniac with sociopathic tendencies who above all is a terrible friend". Rufus and Randal need some kind of support group.

Hopefully most of those pop culture references aren't quite like the final line of that trailer, which appears to have been inserted with a mile long neon-bright shoehorn.
