MOVING OUT
A party game sure to romp all the way home
Nothing gets the work done quicker than a Furniture Arrangement and Relocation Technician fretting about their job security; your precious belongings are irreplaceable but unfortunately in this economy, the same can not be said for Smooth Moves Inc’s employees. All the same, you’ve got things you need moving and they’re only too happy to help. We just hope you have buildings and contents insurance…
If you’re a fan of Overcooked and Catastronauts
(and somehow still have friends after all that), you’re going to love this physics-based party game. While entirely playable solo, it loses something without a few extra helping hands to lovingly hurl things into the back of the truck. Or through a window.
I LIKE TO MOVE IT, MOVE IT
Time is the enemy of every Relocation Technician. On your own, hauling a sofa or a bed is a long, drawn-out process and these heavier items will make the minutes crawl by, snatching that gold medal away from you. But with another pair of hands you might just stand a snowball’s chance.
With up to three other players, you’ll be hefting goods marked down on your list out of homes all across the town of Packmore – which is apparently a hub of eccentric architects and, uh, lonely mediums? (All we’re saying is, we’re pretty sure neither ghosts nor possessed items of furniture are an occupational hazard for most removal people.)
That said, the haunted house isn’t the place that really gives us the willies – it’s the open plan office with the dodgy lift. If you time things badly, the wilful elevator will snatch precious seconds from you as it cycles between floors. Another unexpected horror lurking in this eccentric workspace is the colourful, fabric play tunnel. Who is this intended for? Is this an office for ants? For dogs? Will this place set off our allergies!? All right team, let’s hurry and get everything on the truck before we all dissolve into puffy-eyed, sneezing globs of snot.
Office dogs or no, Moving Out will be moving to PS4 in late April. Hopefully the launch won’t cause either you or your fellow Relocation Technicians to lob a DualShock 4
(or anything else close to hand) at your screen… but perhaps you should hold off on recruiting any players not already battle-hardened by Catastronauts and Overcooked.
