Lore & Background

The game follows Conker, a greedy, hard-drinking red squirrel who must return home to his girlfriend, Berri, after an evening of heavily drinking at the local pub. The plot involves Conker getting lost with a hangover, the Panther King wanting a red squirrel as a table leg, and Conker's quest for cash leading to various dangerous situations. Berri is shot by Don Weaso on the Panther King's orders and dies in Conker's arms. A Xenomorph-like creature bursts out of the Panther King's chest, killing him. Von Kriplespac explains the creature is one of his creations and that he planned to kill the Panther King.
