Our take on Highly Likely
Rather than centering on combat or broad fantasy exploration, this adventure replaces those conventions with narrated rural storytelling, improvised machinery, moonshine-inspired schemes, and a Ukrainian farmstead setting shaped by tragicomic events.
What is Highly Likely?
Highly Likely is a surreal, single-player 2D side-scrolling adventure set on a Ukrainian farmstead near the Polish border.
Mikola, a naive farmer, faces the possible loss of his home and begins a risky venture involving an abandoned oil pipeline and improvised moonshining equipment. The story is divided into acts and combines tragicomic events with quests, narrated dialogue, and off-screen storytelling. Players can explore 23 day and night locations, interact with numerous objects, meet over 30 characters, and use more than a dozen vehicle types, including a bicycle and steam locomotive.
