Life is hard for Louise, a single mom, struggling to make ends meet every day, yet things can worsen. So once she finds out that she’s terminally ill and doesn’t have much time left to secure growing-up son Mitch’s future, she decides to hit the road and spend this one last month together.
## About This Game
Best Month Ever is a modern point-and-click story-driven adventure of Louise
and her son Mitch. Life is hard for Louise as a single mom, struggling to make
ends meet. But things can always get worse, and after being diagnosed with a
terminal illness that leaves her with one month to live, the clock is ticking
for her to raise her son. But how do you explain that to an 8-year old kid?
Mitch is picking up things fast – like a duckling, he observes his mother and
imitates her behavior – but time is running out and Louise has to think
carefully about making the right decisions and setting a good example for
Mitch to follow. Together, they hit the road to take back the time that was
stolen from them and live a lifetime as mother and son in 4 short weeks…
This intense family trip takes place during a groovy 60s era. Mother and son
are thrown into both dangerous and funny situations, all of which impact their
relationship and future. Their intimate tale plays out against the backdrop of
a United States torn apart by political tensions and divided by brutal social
inequality.
You will learn about the facts and decisions from the past in flashbacks and
through memories of the grown-up Mitch – the narration constantly switches
between the “past” (the 60s) and the “present” (the 70s). Finally, we jump
back in time to decide what choices Louise made and how they affected the
future of the two. Players’ decisions will also help shape a unique image of
her as to what kind of person she was.
* Decisions REALLY matter! To keep track of Mitch’s growth as a person, each choice you make adds positive or negative influence to three statistics: Righteousness, Confidence, and Relations. As a result, this changes your story on the go, which makes each player’s experience feel unique.
* Mother & Son relationship – Not only will their individual fates be subject to change, but also their mutual relationship. Best Month Ever is above all else the story of the touching, challenging and unique bond that can only exist between a mother and son.
* Different Outcomes – Turn on, tune in, drop out… and decide! Different choices result in different endings of the game. It is up to the player to decide what kind of person Mitch will become and what exactly happened during his memorable journey through the USA with his mother.
* Weird 60s trip – What a time to travel it was! Canned Heat was singing about “Going Up the Country” while Bob Dylan asked “How does it feel” to have no home and live on the street. Louise and Mitch travel across the country, meeting bikers, hippies, Klansmen, Native Americans, and far-out wanderers of all sorts.
* No losers here! – Don’t be a square, you can’t ‘lose’ in Best Month Ever! Your decision will shape Mitch as an adult person. He may of course get some kicks on the way, but hey, the story will still be unique and rewarding! Can you dig it?
