STORY

In 1996, the infamous game mascot Spanky Bobcat of the game publisher Lemonade met a gruesome demise while making her final game, Spanky 64. A week later, her three fans gathered her remains and brought her back to life.

After her resurrection, Spanky lived a quiet life in the slums of Videopolis City with other misfit mascots, that is until the internet rediscovered her. She quickly became a pariah again, which drove her to drink as she grew jaded and bitter. She eventually befriended Wacky Woody (titular star of Wacky Woody, a horny, doomed platformer for the Smega CD) during her brief adult film stint when she was desperate for work. Now she collects loot, mostly from beating up her enemies, and does a bit of standup.

One fateful night when Spanky ran out of booze, she went to the bar where she got wasted and caused a scene. After being thrown out in a drunken stupor, she got herself into even more trouble. This lead to Spanky's desire to return to the grave, but she felt she had unfinished business - redemption.

With a renewed sense of purpose and a burning desire to prove everyone wrong, Spanky gathers her friends Wacky Woody and Peanut (the star of the critically acclaimed cult classic Peanut's Good Hair Day for the Super 64) to make her comeback game.

Meanwhile, a game industry capitalist named Old School T. who acquired Spanky’s copyrights years ago noticed Spanky's sudden spike in notoriety. He realized he could make a fortune on it! However, he wants to keep any financial risk as low as possible. All else regarding the project is expendable. The only issue with getting Spanky to accept the offer is convincing her to "clean up" her image so he can market the game to a general audience.

But that’s not all! Spanky’s notorious violence, rudeness, and contempt for the bourgeoisie attracts the unwanted attention of the mad scientist Dr. Sogai, who’s goal is to make the world a better place (for himself), and vows to destroy Spanky by any means necessary.

Can Spanky resist the temptation of Old School T.'s crooked operation? Can she avoid certain doom at the hands of Dr. Sogai? Can she uncover the mysteries surrounding her resurrection? Can Peanut thaw Spanky's ice-cold heart? It all depends on you!
