GN Version 5.0

Become a more unusual kind of ‘90s cartoon superhero in the upcoming adventure platformer Adventures of Chris from publisher Graffiti Games and developer Guin Entertainment. Launching October 8th for $14.99 USD on Nintendo Switch™ and Steam (PC, Mac and Linux), this wacky title will have players embark on a global adventure to save the world from an eclectic group of villains. Players can Wishlist Adventures of Chris on Steam, and pre-orders will be available soon on the Nintendo eShop.

Adventures of Chris is a ‘90s-inspired adventure platformer where you help a chubby underdog kid with wacky superpowers battle bizarre villains, unlock and customize special moves and spells, and save the world. After getting kidnapped and turned into a balloon by cartoon villains, you’ll escape and learn a bevy of skills such as how to throw lightning and bounce around like a basketball. Using these skills and more you’ll transform Chris from a weak kid into the ultimate hero, defeating the forces of villainy and making it home in time for dessert.

To celebrate the upcoming launch Graffiti Games and Guin Entertainment released a new trailer with plenty of ‘90s cartoon action.

“Adventures of Chris is a totally normal story about the adventures I went on as a nerdy, chubby kid back in 1995,” said Chris Guin, CEO of Guin Entertainment. “It has a neat story with lots of humor that I think gamers will enjoy. In addition to a comedic story I added a variety of gameplay mechanics to make the combat diverse and entertaining. I had fun making the game and I hope it becomes a favorite for many.”
