If you ever wanted to play a video game that revolves entirely around drinking, now’s your chance.<\/p>\n
“Need For Drink”<\/a> is a new PC game from the Russian development studio Room710 Games<\/a>. It went for sale in April, although it’s still listed as Early Access, with more content supposedly to come. It sells on Steam (and only on Steam, as far as I can tell) for a mere $0.99.<\/p>\n Ninety-nine cents isn’t much, but it doesn’t buy you much, at least to this point. In single-player mode you take control of a husband who runs around the house uncovering stashed booze, with the goal of getting drunk before his wife gets home. (You can watch a “Let’s Play” of the action here<\/a>.) In multi-player, a second player takes control of the screaming wife and tries to stop him. That’s it.<\/p>\n It’s a nicely-weird idea for game, and it does have its funny moments. Unfortunately multiplayer appears to be dead; I never was able to find a partner to play. Everything there is to do in single-player can be wrapped up in 15 minutes. You might decide you’re better off saving the dollar to spend on actual booze.<\/p>\n
