comes at the heels of the cartoon’s 25th anniversary. Unlike other games, Patrick is the star — no pun intended— and is designed as a sandbox adventure, which means players can roam the world of Bikini Bottom freely and goof around, causing things to explode or get blasted off in the space.There is a mission and way to win the game, said PHL Collective founder Nick Madonna, but he didn’t reveal additional details, not wanting to spoil the story or overarching goal.
Fans can also expect a game with several Easter eggs from the show that is very “goofy and funny and streamable.” “I think that’s gonna be really special because your experience playing the game might be different than someone else’s, but if you’re watching someone play and you’re like, oh my God, I didn’t know I could do that, like you’re gonna go run to the TV, pop the game in and try it yourself,” he said.Still, the Patrick game stands out in the team’s repertoire because many of the people who worked on it have an intimate relationship with the show.
Even Madonna, who is 41, is also a fan despite having been older when the show debuted, calling it “weird and fun” and full of “staying power.”
