Macclesfield, UK – 26th March, 2025 – Silver Lining Interactive is thrilled to announce a new 'partner-ship' with developer Ciaran Games LLC to publish the gloriously violent retro shooter Captain Wayne - Vacation Desperation to PC via Steam later this year. Hand-drawn and dripping with attitude, this game delivers old-school shooter carnage with a swashbuckling twin-barreled twist! Ready to get your hands dirty and do some good old-fashioned brawling? Set sail for the Steam page and download the Captain Wayne - Vacation Desperation demo NOW! Lock, load, and let the carnage begin!
A Tide-Turning Crusade Across the Seven-and-a-Half Seas!
In this fast-action, blood-drenched FPS, you play as the infamous Captain Wayne, a cigar-chomping, revenge-fueled menace with a shotgun replacing his severed arm, countless explosives, a bad attitude and a knack for creative carnage. Stranded on Orca Isle after a brutal ambush, Wayne sets out to reclaim his stolen ship and unleash hell on the mercenary gang that wronged him - the ruthless "Killer Whales."
Clad in hot pink, fueled by rage and rum, and wielding an arsenal fit for a sea-demon, Captain Wayne doesn't just kill; he annihilates. Whether he's blasting enemies into mist with his double-barreled palm, shredding them with his chain-gun fingers, or reducing them to chum with his explosive Boom Brew, every encounter is a symphony of destruction.
Oh, and let's not forget the legend behind that shotgun arm. After a deadly clash with the fabled "Vampire Whale" cost him a limb, Wayne bolted "The Captain's Ol' Reliable" straight onto his stump and never looked back. Now, he's got one goal: to make the Killer Whales regret the day they crossed him.
A treasure chest of features:
-
A brutal, stylized cartoon gore-fest, because who said bloodshed can't be beautiful?
-
A relentlessly chaotic soundtrack, louder than a cannon blast!
-
8 massive, enemy-packed areas across the treacherous Orca Isle.
-
Hand-drawn, fully-voiced cinematics that bring Wayne's unhinged antics to life.
-
An arsenal of over-the-top weapons designed for maximum, messy destruction.
-
Combat so fierce, the ocean itself might just split in half.
So, what the hell are you waiting for? Those Killer Whale scumbags aren't gonna explode into a fine red mist on their own. Get ready to blast, burn, and butcher your way to vengeance when Captain Wayne - Vacation Desperation docks later this year!
Captain Wayne is just getting started, so stay tuned for more explosive, blood-soaked updates as we get closer to launch!
