Watch a gameplay trailer for Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry

There's a new Leisure Suit Larry game subtitled Wet Dreams Don't Dry currently on the way via CrazyBunch and Assemble Entertainment, who call it "a direct sequel to the first Leisure Suit Larry game". It catapults Larry direct from 1987 to the modern day, though that doesn't explain why he's taller now or what happened to his voice.

It features an in-game dating app called 'Timber' you'll need to improve at to land dates and "ultimately clear the way to get to dating Faith, the women of your dreams".

Seeing (and hearing) it in motion hasn't done much to get my hopes up for this one. It's worth noting series creator Al Lowe is not involved. In response to an email from a fan Lowe said, "if that title is the best they could come up with, I'm glad I'm not."

Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry is due on November 7.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
