Om spillet

Mortimer: First Launch is a 3D puzzle stealth adventure starring Mortimer, a raccoon with big dreams and a scientific mind. Set in a whimsical, fantasy version of Florida's Hatbill Park near the Kennedy Space Center, Mortimer navigates his environment, solves puzzles, and collects the parts he needs to build a rocket and achieve his dream of reaching the moon, all while avoiding humans and predatory wildlife along the way.

The First Launch version of the game includes the tutorial, taking place at Mortimer's home and the nearby Hatbill Park camping area.

Mortimer: First Launch is a work in progress by a team of students from Jyväskylä University of Applied Science in Jyväskylä, Finland.
