“Bolt Riley – A Reggae Adventure Game”, the first chapter of the award winning 2D Point and click adventure game launches as Early Access on multiple platforms. The game takes place in 1970’s Jamaica and follows the path of a young and aspiring Reggae musician, on his path to stardom.
“Being funded through Kickstarter back in 2014, we’re launching the game with high expectations,” said Oded Sharon, Adventure Mob’s CEO, “we are committed to our backers to deliver the game on time, so we pretty much have the date set in stoned, and we are working very hard to weed out all the bugs. We’ve chosen this particular launch date, well… because we wanted everything in the game to be properly baked and didn’t want our backers to get the munchies. Everything will be lit up on time, and I expect players will be lifted when playing it.”
Bolt Riley – A Reggae Adventure tells the story of a young man growing up in a very poor area of Kingston, Jamaica. He loves music, and after discovering Reggae Music he wants to become a singer. In the game you play as Bolt, and help him discover his inspiration. He needs to write great songs and put together a talented group of musicians. Bolt has to deal with some gang members who are asking him to perform acts of crime. Instead, he chooses a path of peace and goes against the violent environment he lives in, while helping out his fellow townsfolk, reuniting families, and bringing joy and harmony to his neighbors.
The game is a collaborative work between Adventure Mob and Lori and Corey Cole, Creators of the Quest for Glory series who took part as design consultants on this project.
Bolt Riley is fully voiced by professional actors who are well known for other adventure games, such as Anthony Sardinha (The Journey Down), Jesse Lowther (Quest for Infamy) as the narrator, and Jason Linere White (Scrubby) as Bolt Riley.
Bolt Riley is the first game ever to offer Jamaican Patois localization as a language option.
Bolt Riley received several awards including Indie Prizes for “Best in Show, Audience Choice” and “Best Game Audio” awards, and was a finalist in GameIS Awards.
