Indie developer LEAP Game Studios has announced LAN Party Adventures, a new single-player adventure game focused on managing LAN parties.
LAN Party Adventures is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) with a release set for later in 2025.
“We’ve been crafting LAN Party Adventures in secret, and we’re excited to finally share it with the world,” said Gabriel Shimabuko, producer at LEAP Game Studios. “Our goal is to evoke cherished memories of old-school LAN parties while offering a compelling mystery for players to solve together.”
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
Strange things have been happening in our small town lately. Someone is messing with the townsfolk, the vibe is getting suss, and now Pedro is missing.
All we want to do is hang out, set up LAN parties for some extra cash, and munch on some za, but I guess it’s down to us to find out what’s going down and fight back.
