In the history of Telltale Games, which ultimately had a rather sad ending, it was Sam & Max that gave the studio one of its earliest hits, which itself was a revival of the classic '90s IP. When Sam & Max Save The World arrived last year on Switch, remastering all of the content from that first season, we rather enjoyed it.
There's more to come, but for now Skunkape Games is making a couple of moves to tempt more players into the current release. First of all there's a 'beefy' demo available now, which seems like a good way to draw in anyone who's tempted. It includes 'almost' all of episode one, with save progress that will then carry over to the full game; the full game also happens to be 20% off until 31st May, which is the first discount of it to date on the eShop.
For you collectors there are still physical editions available via Limited Run Games.

Do you plan to give Sam & Max a try for free this weekend?

Max: "Hey Sam pull my ears"
Sam: "Y'know Max kids could be reading this comment right now."
Well, I was holding out for a discount for this so yes, I'll get the demo now and get the full game before the month is over
Been wanting to see what this game is about.
I've been very curious about the point & click genre and this game. Definitely getting that demo.
I know of Sam and Max by reputation from the ‘90s, but never played. Now I don’t have an excuse to at least try it ...
This will be my last comment for a good while so this is some fitting great news. Planning to buy the physical version of this game.
This game was amazing - a labor of love at a time before telltale was famous enough to start pumping out point and click games regularly for other licenses. The writing is the best of their humorous games, IMO. The jokes landed far more often for me than in Telltale's reimagining of Monkey Island, and I feel like they had more leeway with the license to make it work well. Early Telltale was awesome and single-handedly brought back the comedic point and click genre at a time when no one else was doing these in the west, and this was arguably their best of that period. Their later stuff was much higher quality but more focused on serious cinematic narrative that -while still lovely- wasn't as fun for me. Strongly recommend, though I won't be picking up - the writing is the reason to play, and the characters are too memorable for me to forget fast enough to be ready for a replay 15 years later.
Nice. Very nice for so many newcomers to the series as of late. Just don't listen to the complainers who think that a change to ten jokes "ruin" the whole game.
Any word on the date for season 2?
The demo downloaded quickly. 30-60 seconds? Demo file size: 307 MB
