addedWe set out on a mission to find cool, fun, unusual games that might need some help (funding) and support (still funding but also unsolicited advice and mentoring). We wanted to focus on developers in a similar time zone to help with communication, games that feel sort of like SUPERHOT (puzzles, shooters), and with a corresponding artstyle. With that in mind, we’ve signed two games from Australia (really the worst time zone for us), neither of which are anything like SUPERHOT, and both with a unique-artstyle that doesn’t relate to anything we’ve ever done. Please now give your undivided attention and love to the Frog Detective series by Grace Bruxner’s new studio “Worm Club”, and Knuckle Sandwich by Andrew Brophy. THE FROG DETECTIVE SERIES Wherein the frog solves mysteries, by Grace Bruxner's "Worm Club" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzHDU47MeRk SUPERHOT supporting Frog Detective is the crossover no one asked for. The series is about a frog detective solving a mystery. It’s simple. It’s perfect. We love how wholesome and warm and funny it is, we enjoy the game, we like the team, so we offered to help. You’ll be able to play the newest game at PAX West (go buy a plushie from Grace at their stand!). Props to Grace for being the first person brave enough to sign with SUPERHOT PRESENTS. She will forever remain in our hearts as someone to be afraid of. A word from Grace Bruxner “Here’s the real story of how this happened. SUPERHOT noticed my cool frog game and were like “hmmm,,, what if,,,,, money?????” and I was like “…ok fine but I will only agree if you send me lots of superhot t-shirts because I need clothes to wear around the house when I make the game” and they said “weird request but ok” and sent me a big box of shirts. And that’s all I wear now. Also my dog Noddy wears them too. That’s how business deals work in this industry baby!! Get used to it!! Anyway, Frog Detective is very good (I know this because I made it) and I think you’ll enjoy it even though it’s not even a little bit like SUPERHOT. There will be no slow motion murdering!!! See ya.” The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game, is a game about a sloth. To be specific, it’s about a small sloth that has been haunted for weeks by a mysterious ghost (WooOOooOO). There’s a mystery afoot! The only one who can solve it is the renowned investigator known as The Detective! That’s the frog, by the way. Find clues, question suspects, look at things through your frog-sized magnifying glass.
addedGo buy Frog Detective. Then... Go wishlist Frog Detective 2 But this time there’s an invisible wizard! Wow! KNUCKLE SANDWICH weird, wonderful, and by Andrew Brophy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjtvusfoUVk Knuckle Sandwich is a game that asks you for your name but doesn’t really care. It’s an RPG about a boy looking for work in a new city. It’s weird. It’s wonderful. It’s dripping with style. It’s got a free demo on itch here that you should check out right now. The demo is a little old but that’s fine. We talked to Andrew for the first time about a week before we sent a contract. It was easy peasy for us to get excited by working with him. Also he forced us. Please help. A word from Andrew Brophy:
