Mayhem in the Valley is a 2.5D puzzle-platformer that follows the chaotic story of Jack Johnson, a teenager who wakes up one day in his small, quiet hometown, and accidentally causes a catastrophe.
Wildlife and townsfolk become infected and try to brutally kill you every chance they get, and you (having no guns whatsoever, what are you talking about) have to think, jump, dodge and climb to stay alive. And save your town along the way, of course.
Mayhem in Single Valley key features:
-Physics-based puzzles meet fast-paced platforming and action-adventure
-Go from downtown to underground caves and from secret labs to the broken version of reality
-Combine different food types, antidotes, and poisons to escape and/or manipulate crazed wildlife and bosses
-Pull, push, drag, and generally fling items about your environment to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles
-Enemies and NPCs have a variety of motivations and fears, use them to your advantage
-Portable cassette player-based soundtrack. You decide what music you'd like to accompany your adventures
-Plane crashes, car chases, and making clones of yourself
-Plenty of hidden collectibles
