Talk about a surprise. I confess, when I signed up to attend a Konami preview event last August, it was almost entirely to get some hands-on time with theSilent Hill 2 remake(it’s pretty good!) andMetal Gear Solid Delta(it’s very MGS3!). I knew almost nothing about the third game on the docket: chaotic, isometric delivery sim Deliver At All Costs (DAAC) from Far Out Games.

Same-day delivery

Deliver At All Costs is a ’50s pastiche that puts you in the underachieving shoes of Winston Green, a bonafide engineering genius whose short temper has kept him from ever fulfilling his potential. Down on his luck and behind on rent, ol' Winston takes a job with a local delivery company—Deliver At All Costs—to make ends meet.

It starts with a quick drive over to the office. You know what they say: The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and I’ll be damned if I’m not a man of science. I angled Winston’s rusty old beater towards my quest objective and hit the gas, ploughing through every park bench, lamp post, person, and building in my way.

It’s all profoundly silly and creative in a quite old-school, videogamey way

Once you’ve got the job, your tasks only escalate in complexity and lunacy. You start out ferrying around fireworks that keep setting themselves off and destroying the environment (and your tyres), then you have to cart around 80-or-so melons that are loose in the bed of your truck without too many of them physics-ing their way out of the car and onto the road, then you’re trying to transport an enormous, flopping fish. The last job I did before I was ushered out of the demo was transporting a machine that kept spitting out helium balloons, making my car ever lighter until every slight ramp sent me sailing across half the map like James and the Giant Peach.

A pickup truck lays waste to the town as it delivers a crate of fireworks, which are going off.

Deliver At All Costs doesn’t have a set release date yet, but you can find it over onSteam.
