Beyond a Total Loss

Beyond a Total Loss is a darkly humorous 2D action-adventure (with a dash of survival horror) about a balding moustachioed dim-witted drunk called John Harry, who comes to the conclusion that signing an unreadable contract in exchange for a gun maybe isn't the best of ideas.

John Harry is lost in the woods after driving his car off a cliff. He is attacked from all sides by strange vicious beasts and his prospects seem bleak. But then the local game warden comes to his rescue and offers him a gun to protect himself. He just has to sign a little contract…
