PHIL’S STORY: CHAPTER 1 [8 LEVELS]
The Long Awaited (Unwarranted) Redux!
I wanted to start this off by saying thank you to all the people who played the
the hunk of garbage I called a demo. I look back at my previous work with shame
and disgust, as the 1.0 version of "Drown" was a buggy, poorly paced, edgy waste of
time for players.
So, after a long series of rewrites, I finally present the biggest project Carl and I
have made together. "Phil’s Story" is a complete upgrade of the original campaign
I released in 2023.
And please, for the love of God do not take this as a call to action to play the
original. I would rather pull my eyes out with a corkscrew than have someone
willingly play that again. So thanks for going through that if you did. Me and Carl
spent a good 3 years to try and make it 10x better!
============================
-Homeade Sprites!
-Custom sound effects
-A better (still stolen) Soundtrack!
-Better Level Design!
-A completely rewritten storyline! (WAOW!)

A short description:
(WARNING: Contains Spoilers for Hotline Miami 2)
——————
Meet Phillip Salmon, an apathetic, asocial low-life with no immediately noticeable
redeeming qualities! In 1985, Phil and some of his pals were drafted to help with
the Hawaiian conflict working as a part of the unqualified "D-Company". A few
weeks after the bombing of San-Francisco, Phil was discharged from the army after
being labeled as a Section 8 for *REDACTED* his *REDACTED*.
He then moved back to Miami in December 1988. A few months into his return, he gets
fired from his part-time job at "Cheap-Stuffs", his girlfriend breaks up with him,
and now his old war buddies reunite again to talk about a series of ominous
phone-calls…! The only thing this irredeemable nerve-ape is seemingly good at;
is hurting people…
And boy, does he like it!
Immerse yourself in Phil’s Wacky Life as he relapses into his old bad habits,
taking the lives of mob and cartel members alike! Sympathize with the comedic
tale of these limp-wristed men (and women)! Follow the socially inept bags of meat
onto their path of self-destruction as they experience the story-line cliches such as
love, trauma, death, and betrayal. Can you sit through it ’till the end?

Dev Note: This is a work of fiction. The political views shown by characters
in this campaign are not my own and are just to highlight certain traits
of said characters, or to highlight grievances that I as the writer,
thought would be typical in this alternate history depiction of 1980’s
Cold-War America. All names shared with people, living or dead,
are probably just a coincidence and you’re looking too deep into it.
(TLDR; I’M NOT RACIST OR HOMOPHOBIC)
