About This Game

Story

Set in the rural town of Arostia in the year 19XX,
young go-getter Sean and his ensemble of like-minded buddies Foodie, Bruce and Doc band together to form The Noogies, a hopeful gang that dream of one
day striking it out on a real adventure together.

On one most frightful occasion returning home, Sean is confronted by a dastardly loan shark lying in wait.
In addition to sealing his most trusted friends within the labyrinth of various underground areas and chasms of the region,
a ludicrous demand is made that outstanding debts left by his absent father must be repaid in full no sooner than by the end of the day...

In spite of this most precarious situation, where one might succumb to crippling despair, a burst of excitement erupts within Sean -
The opportunity for a true adventure has at long last finally revealed itself!

But is this small town country boy truly cut out for the road ahead? Capable of not only saving his friends but also recovering such exhorbitent funds?
