The Greatest Online Video Game Pitch I’ve Ever Seen: The SEINFELD Game
"The Pitch"The 90s were ripe for video game cash-ins on popular franchises. In this game we imagine, “What if there was an official Seinfeld point-and-click adventure game that was never released?“
Why Seinfeld as a point and click?
For a “show about nothing" Seinfeld has a surprisingly rich world. There are so many memorable recurring characters, plot lines and locations as the four protagonists navigate new relationships, jobs and rivals.
The show existed during the time of iconic adventure games such as Monkey Island, Full Throttle, King’s Quest and many more.
Point-and-click adventure games often involve some sort of task or mission that requires a mix of conversational skills, puzzle solving, item collection and use. In Seinfeld, conflict also arises regularly from miscommunication or involves novel items (think episodes like The Pez, The Junior Mint, The Statue, The Calzone, The Fusilli Jerry, The Couch, The Big Salad etc). All this melds perfectly with the point-and-click formula!
I have rarely seen a fan pitch with more depth, focus, and overall love than this one. I hope Sony Entertainment, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld are eyes on with this.
