The demo to Penny Arcade’s indie video game Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness has been released.

Set in an alternative universe resembling 1920s America, On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One is nothing if not an authentic-feeling Penny Arcade game complete with pulp horror and adult language.

Once you create your own customized character, you?ll find yourself a citizen of New Arcadia… just raking leaves in your front yard and minding your own business. The next thing you know, a giant “fruit-loving” robot steps on your house, crushing it. Now homeless, you join the crime-solving team of Gabe and Tycho from the Startling Developments Detective Agency to get revenge on the robot and find a new place to call home. Fight off packs of feral hobos, animated trash and other bizarre enemies with your last possession (a trusty rake), meet strange new characters and solve mysterious puzzles to get to the heart of the sinister secrets of New Arcadia.
