I'm a Rocker!

About

I'm a Rocker! is a post-apocalyptic point-and-click adventure where you play a metalhead scavenging a ruined American wasteland to attend one final concert. The game tasks you with repairing a car, gathering concert-ready gear, and surviving encounters with hostile survivors, all while balancing your need for loud music and basic survival. Puzzle solving revolves around inventory management and dialogue choices, with a focus on humor and absurdity amid the bleak setting. The tone mixes resource-gathering mechanics with quirky character interactions, turning a chaotic world into a road trip of escalating chaos. The game stands out for its niche premise and lighthearted approach to end-times storytelling. Community feedback notes its charm comes from juxtaposing heavy metal culture with post-nuclear survival, like trading rare albums for fuel or defending against raiders with a guitar-smashing minigame. While the 8-10 hour campaign isn't complex, its irreverent tone and creative set pieces earn it a 78% positive rating on Steam. Best suited for fans of goofy yet goal-driven adventures with a distinct personality.

Storyline

We are after a nuclear war, somewhere in the USA. Life is not kind to you, and your prospects are certainly not looking good. You're a metalhead, a member of a "different" thinking group, listening to "different" kind of music, a member of a rebellious subculture, who always has a slightly different opinion on things than society expects. In many ways, of course, you are the same as everyone else. You want to live a normal life, as much as possible, and you want to have fun. But in this world? You realize that your life might not be very long, so you want to go to one last concert of a famous metal band. The problem is, it's in another city not too close by, and you'd need a functioning vehicle to cross the wasteland. Maybe a partner wouldn't hurt either. So you decide to get to that concert, no matter what, and move mountains to get there.
