Lucy Dreaming point and click adventure game now features Dominic Armato on Linux, Mac, with Windows PC. All thanks to the work and effort of developer Tall Story Games. Working to make its way onto Steam this year.
Lucy Dreaming is a hilarious journey through a young girl’s recurring nightmares. A point and click adventure heavily inspired by writer and developer Tom Hardwidge’s childhood love. Due to classic LucasArts games like Monkey Island.
What began as Tom’s dream to have the voice of Guybrush Threepwood himself. Playing a role in his own adventure game became reality when he and his wife Emma nervously approached Dominic and he said yes. Dominic was keen to return to voice acting too.
“People tell me they don’t understand why I haven’t worked on other games over the past decade,” Dominic Armato explains. “The truth is, nobody asked! I was thrilled that Tom and Emma were able to make it happen. And a quirky love letter to graphic adventures like Lucy Dreaming felt like just the right opportunity to jump back in.”
Now a successful dining critic, he didn’t realize at the time that his former career was about to reignite. Not only will Dominic be in Lucy Dreaming but also Return to Monkey Island six months later.
Tom Hardwidge says “It was a dream come true when Dom agreed to get involved in the game. We wrote a character just for him, inspired by his career as a dining critic. It’s been amazing to work with someone who is so much a part of adventure game history and my own childhood.”
