Fan is Working on A Point-And-Click Game based on … Seinfeld?
So, there’s something weird in the works at the current time on the hands of fans. A point and click adventure based on the Comedy Sitcom Seinfeld. I mean, this could be a cool homage to one of the most important sitcoms in history but… A Point and Click?
The project itself is impressive when you look at what’s been done. The fact that this non-official game presents graphics that are on par with LucasArts games is an admirable effort. This looks on par with games like Escape from Monkey Island, so visually, it’s admirable.
One of the developers is Jacob Janerka, a fan of the sitcom that is also known for his work on the post-apocalyptic simulator Paradigm. He’s the main man responsible for the creation of the point-and-click game of the comedy program created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld.
As you can imagine, key characters like Jerry Seinfeld, George Constanza, Elaine Benes, Cosmo Craner and Newman will be appearing in the game. Of course, this also applies to the locales we’ll be seeing like Jerry’s apartment and the restaurant where the group likes to gather around for chats.
Now, if you think that this is going to be something that’s going to be released any time soon, you’ve got another thing coming. Janerka has made clear that – much like LIMBO 64 – this project is being done in his spare time.
Not only that, but the creator of the game is actually stuck in one key aspect to make the game a reality, a plot. Yes, the creator has been spending some of the development time thinking of a plot for a game based on Seinfeld.
Been getting a lot of questions about the Seinfeld Project recently. A: I'm waiting till I have a good idea for a premise for a short demo. Anyway here is a slightly updated compilation. pic.twitter.com/fyiUUZPWgw

I mean, I know that it’s going to sound a bit cliché for some. But I know of Seinfeld mostly because of memes and I didn’t think there would be a fan, let alone one dedicated enough to do something like this. Could this game have a hilarious sitcom or adventure premise? Who knows.
New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.
Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.
Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.
Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.
Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.
In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.
When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.
More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.
PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.
Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.
Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.
The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
