I always thought the adage “money can’t buy you” was a load of bullshit. Aside from the obvious basics, money buys all my frivolous comforts like overpriced coffee, digital money store trash, and the occasional Steam sales splurge. Gold Gold Adventure Gold encourages this tendency toward greed, and its PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted The trailer offered a glimpse of what's to come when it debuts in Early Access next year.
Gold Gold Adventure Gold from developer Can Can Can a Man – say it five times fast, I dare you – is a blend of oddly specific influences with a lofty vision that somehow has makes complete sense to me. He's a city builder, sure, but his guiding philosophies border on the strange. The objectives here are much more far-fetched than calming villages and micromanaging traffic flows.
Instead, you focus more specifically on the tasks expected of someone raising a pet beast god, whatever that might entail. Well, it's that, plus keeping your growing village of subordinate units in line.
Today's trailer explains in a little more detail, taking a quick look at Adventure Gold's building mechanics through the lens of its close-up camera. This perspective seems a bit strange to me for something with RTS style units, but the art makes it work. Dealing with these guys seems to take up the majority of the day, so you might as well get closer as they are given all kinds of missions and even help you take care of your big mythical beast.
Gold Gold Adventure Gold is Worship of the Lamb-scary style, but with a not-so-obviously twisted visual direction. It looks more cheerful in this regard, like Dark cloud. The differences lead you down the path to more tangible riches, settling around a dungeon to take advantage of its abundant monster resources. The more money your capitalist fantasy machine extracts from the land, the more stereotypical RPG-style adventurers become willing to accept a quest for your cause.
The details of this cause appear to be our biggest unknown. The gist of what I've gleaned is that I have a giant beast to deal with, Tamagotchi style, and it's not cheap. I think all the greed, local conquest, and pet god won't make me a particularly likeable individual either, so there's bound to be some bad blood somewhere.
Gold Gold Adventure Gold does not yet have a release date, but is expected to launch in early 2025. You can add it to your wishlist now for notification when it debuts in Early Access on Steam.
