Description

Sam and Max are back! And they must stop a bunch of young stars from a 70's TV series who are annoying the neighborhood. They'll soon discover those kids are under the effect of hypnosis, perpetrated by an evil genius known as Brady Culture.

This is the first of a series of episodes Telltale is releasing based upon the freelance police dog & rabbit franchise created by Steve Purcell. Their new distribution method is similar to that of the TV series: short, independent episodes released periodically to form a whole package described as a "season".

Sam and Max: Culture Shock brings back the feel and ambiance of the old classics by LucasArts - especially the first Sam and Max game, which clearly influenced the development of this episode - in a point and click adventure game. We will control Sam and, indirectly, Max, on a renewed 3D environment, (including a driving mini-game) in their particular vision of justice.

Trivia

LucasArts was producing a sequel to Sam and Max Hit the Road called Sam and Max: Freelance Police. The game would have been a 3D point and click adventure in the style of the original. When it was canceled in 2004, many members of the development team left LucasArts to help form Telltale Games, the company that eventually ended up developing Sam and Max: Culture Shock.
