Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space Demo on Nintendo Switch (aka the free option)
Released April 25, 2022, the Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space demo pits the Freelance Police against the greatest enemy they’ve ever faced, a bloated, hairy, pagan god: Santa Claus!
Set right at the beginning of the five-episode story arc, this demo addresses all the burning questions you didn’t know you needed to ask, including:
- What’s so special about elf tears?
- Why is a giant robot with a penchant for eighties pop music tearing up the street?
- When did the War of 1812 begin?
- Why is Bosco’s package ticking?
- And the big one: why has Santa barricaded himself in his workshop with a BB gun?
The answers will surprise you!
