In 2008, Liam Neeson transformed his career by becoming an action star in 'Taken,' a film about a former CIA operative who goes to extreme measures to save his kidnapped teenage daughter. This movie seems to be a major influence on Indifferent Penguin's forthcoming game, 'Tackle for Loss.' However, the protagonist in this game possesses his own distinctive abilities to use against those who dared to abduct his daughter, as showcased in the reveal trailer.
Another inspiration for the game appears to be chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurological condition often linked to concussions experienced by American professional athletes, particularly football players. The main character in 'Tackle for Loss' is cognizant of his condition and the violent tendencies it induces. His story also carries a hint of sorrow, as he confesses to not remembering his daughter's name. All he knows is his profound love for her and his unwavering determination to rescue her, no matter how many adversaries he must defeat.
'Tackle for Loss' features a retro visual style reminiscent of 'Hotline Miami.' The game incorporates strategic elements by allowing players to unlock new moves and enhance their attacks as they advance through the narrative. Along the journey, players will uncover the truth behind the daughter's kidnapping and delve into a more extensive conspiracy tied to the criminal underworld that orchestrated her abduction.
German game developer Daniel Wichterich single-handedly created 'Tackle for Loss' for his company, Indifferent Penguin. Although the game does not yet have a release date, it is currently available on Steam's wishlist.
