BOMJMAN (HoboMan) is a beat 'em up game based on a cartoon.
The game will immerse you in the atmosphere of a grim post-Soviet megapolis where destruction and injustice paralyzed all the police forces. The main hero is a regular person who received a lethal dose of unemployment and became the new superhero - HoboMan! Since then he's been selflessly, senselessly, and often unreasonably using his superpowers to save the day fighting crime and evil. On the days when he's not too lazy, of course. Trying to confront bandits, HoboMan cannot even imagine what kind of trouble he found himself in...
The idea of the project is to bring the feeling of life experience in the former USSR countries for those who experienced it in the '90s and also for those who want to fully understand it. It's a unique cyberpunk setting filled with morbid humor, irony and trash which the gaming industry lacks so much nowadays.
Typical pictures of that period are fully reproduced in BOMJMAN...
The same gray panel 9-storey buildings in cities with a minimum of amenities are our skyscrapers! The neglected courtyards are real mud swamps: sidewalk paths with almost no asphalt surfaces, broken benches and an almost complete absence of kids' playgrounds! Entrance halls in every building are places with a persistent smell of urine, household waste and uncensored vulgar terms written on the walls! Nobody thinks about separating garbage - dumps outside the cities have been turned into a stinking Everest! And night can only be remembered as a time when walking along the streets is extremely risky to your life!
The majority of the population lives like representatives of the social bottom: people line up at ... garbage cans; “enterprising” people collect bottles near drinking establishments and hand them over to recycling centers to to scrape up some money for food; in the evenings on the central avenues and boulevards you can see crowds of hookers: a "love session" is up to $5 only! Everyone dreams of the worst car in the world - Zhiguli, because their owners are considered to be people of wealth and respect! And ordinary garages are considered one of the best hangouts for men to have fun and argue about something of their own!
