Wildflower Interactive, a new independent game studio led by Bruce Straley (The Last of Us, Uncharted), today revealed its debut title Coven of the Chicken Foot, during The Game Awards.
The dungeons have been plundered and the monsters long slain. As the heroes move on, an elderly witch quietly gets to work. Coven of the Chicken Foot is a single-player adventure about the building of a bond between an elderly witch named Gertie and a peculiar creature, who must learn to work together to fulfill an oath. As their trust deepens, a dark revelation of what they’re up against will make them question their commitment to the oath and to each other.
Coven of the Chicken Foot is coming to PC via Steam
Set in a stylized world that winks at the tropes of traditional fantasy adventures, this emotionally-rich, charming-yet-dark creature puzzle-platformer invites players to reconsider who the real “heroes” are, and how easily stories shift when told from the margins. As Gertie, players venture into dark dungeons, lush forests, catacombs of fallen heroes, and mucky bogs that kill all those that dare enter. Gertie is not your typical hero: She won’t be swinging swords or double-jumping her way past dangers. Instead, survival means learning to collaborate with her strange companion.
Built on pioneering technology, Wildflower Interactive has crafted a non-playable ally unlike any other; a dynamic, responsive creature that reacts and evolves its abilities and motivations throughout the player’s experience.
