The two Leisure Suit Larry revivals, Wet Dreams Don't Dry and Wet Dreams Dry Twice, point-and-click adventures made by CrazyBunch and published by Assemble Entertainment, will be removed from Steam after 23 October. The news came in a Steam announcement titled "Larry Is Retiring Soon", posted to both games on 8 October.
"Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry and Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice will only be available on Steam until October 23. After that, both games will be removed from the store," the post says. It gives no reason, and adds: "Unfortunately, we can't share anything about his future."
A last sale
"Last Chance" discounts started on 9 October. When we checked the store on 12 October, both games were 95% off in the UK: Wet Dreams Don't Dry at £1.29 and Wet Dreams Dry Twice at £1.54. Wet Dreams Don't Dry came out on 7 November 2018, and Wet Dreams Dry Twice on 23 October 2020, so the sequel leaves Steam six years to the day after it arrived.
The announcement covers Steam only. Both games are also sold on GOG, where they were 95% off on 12 October too, and nothing has been said about whether they will stay there. PC Gamer assumes they will go from GOG as well, and suggests an expiring licence for the Larry name as a possible cause, but says plainly that this is speculation. Neither Assemble nor CrazyBunch has said why the games are going.
The post does not mention phones either. Assemble and CrazyBunch brought Wet Dreams Dry Twice to iOS and Android in January 2022, according to an earlier Steam announcement, and the farewell says nothing about those versions. The same 2022 post called the sequel the winner of 2020's Adventure Game of the Year award.
