The Hapalon takes the second place with a unique single player experience that reminds you a bit of Resident Evil, with an inventory system and clue-like gameplay.

ModDBs Contest over!
A week ago ModDBs Bogus Mod Contest ended with several great entries!
Which can be seen and downloaded here: http://www.moddb.com/games/serious-sams-bogus-detour/competition
The winners will be announced the 22nd of August.
I will give everyone who submitted a few days to patch their mods. There might be smaller bugs, things that got left out and so. I talked to several people who asked me about this.
The final patch date on Sunday the 13
After that, we will download and play all mods again. Make sure these are patched on ModDB, cause it's from there we get the mods for the contest. It's a good idea to patch them here on steam to of course.
Someone asked me where to send any personal information, things that ModDB asked about, like adress, emails and such, that should go to ModDB, I will see if Scott can reply here a bit about that.
SeriousMOD Competition with ModDB
Modders, it's time to get serious. Crackshell and Devolver Digital have teamed up with ModDB to give you a chance to get your mod featured in the official release of the game! That is of course - if you are serious enough and I can guarantee that isn't the last pun you will see here.
So what's the challenge? Make something seriously awesome (told you). You can make a custom campaign, a horde mode style map or even Serious Sam inspired art, whatever you want - it's entirely upto you.
So there must be some serious prizes right? Right you are. First place mod gets eternal fame and a whole bundle of cash, second place walks away with a 1080 NVIDIA GPU and 3rd place gets some Logitech gear. The next 20 best mods and art submitted take home a SERIOUS SAM digital game pack, so it's unlikely any serious competitor will leave empty handed.
We want you to create either a mod for Serious Sam Bogus Detour or art inspired by the game. What you choose to make is entirely up to you!
