Lock & Load, You Salty Dogs! Silver Lining Interactive Joins The Crew Behind the Blood-Drenched Retro Shooter Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation
Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation, developed by Ciaran Games LLC and published by Silver Lining Interactive, is set to launch on PC via Steam later this year. This gloriously violent, retro-inspired FPS combines old-school shooter action with a swashbuckling, twin-barreled twist. A demo is already available for those eager to dive into the carnage.
Players take on the role of Captain Wayne, a cigar-chomping, revenge-driven menace with a shotgun grafted onto his severed arm. After a brutal ambush leaves him stranded on Orca Isle, Wayne embarks on a blood-soaked mission to reclaim his stolen ship and take down the ruthless mercenary gang known as the Killer Whales. Armed with an explosive arsenal—including chain-gun fingers and his devastating Boom Brew—Wayne doesn’t just defeat his enemies; he annihilates them.
With a past as wild as his weapons, Wayne’s legendary shotgun arm, “The Captain’s Ol’ Reliable,” was forged after a deadly encounter with the fabled Vampire Whale. Now, fueled by rage and rum, he’s ready to make the Killer Whales regret ever crossing him.
What We Can Expect
- A brutal, stylized cartoon gore-fest, because who said bloodshed can’t be beautiful?
- A relentlessly chaotic soundtrack, louder than a cannon blast!
- 8 massive, enemy-packed areas across the treacherous Orca Isle.
- Hand-drawn, fully-voiced cinematics that bring Wayne’s unhinged antics to life.
- An arsenal of over-the-top weapons designed for maximum, messy destruction.
- Combat so fierce, the ocean itself might just split in half.
My Thoughts
If Doom were a made with a much brighter color palette and a sense of humor, you’d have Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation. This is one of those games that I hope gets a decent amount of attention. Anything with a splash of comedy or a Duke Nukem-style narrator for the trailer (check it out below!) gets a positive reaction from me. I hope you want to go along for the wild ride, too!
