The game developers from Mexico, Seashell Studio, will soon release their thrilling online/offline multiplayer racing game for cross-platform gameplay.

Running Fable is a family friendly, party game for up to 10 players. Play online against other players, create a private room, or fill the empty spaces with bots  – the more, the merrier. Running Fable was released on Steam on the 4th of November 2022. Now Seashell Studio will soon launch it on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One which will enable cross-platform play and enhance competition and multiplayer experience even further.

“We are delighted to announce that Running Fable has emerged from the children’s fable to become multiplayer that will soon go beyond the online experience by making it cross-platform” – comments Rodrigo Cuadriello from Seashell Studio. “We hope you’ve warmed up because only the fiercest runners will make it to the finish line!”

Running Fable gameplay features:

• Race to the trophy – Run, jump, Dodge, fly, and hare your way up to the trophy!
• Trophy Points + Trap Points = Round Score – Build up your total score by reaching the goal as fast as possible, or by placing your traps cunningly. A mix of both is the key to celebrating victoriously!

Bergamo, Italy – June 19. 2023 – Today, Cactus Production launches their new demo for An Everyday Story during this week’s Steam Next Fest. This is the studio’s first game, and with the new demo being out they’ve passed another milestone on their journey of developing An Everyday Story.

“Since An Everyday Story was our first game we initially struggled during the early development phase”, said Allesio Oliva, Narrative Lead Designer at Cactus Production, and continues: “But thanks to a lengthy learning process and hard work we pushed through and reached almost the end of development! Of course, we cannot thank our core members enough for their efforts, but we also have to mention the incredible work done by the contractors we worked with; both groups have been amazing despite our lack of experience and the many difficulties”.

“Our most important objective is to establish a connection with the players: we always wanted to tell stories that feel relatable and personal. And in order to do that, we address universal themes like family, loss, love and friendship. After all, the stories that touch us all are the ones that overcome cultural and generational differences, are they not?” said Roberto Vergine, Founder of Cactus Production.

The History
An Everyday Story is a 2.5D Horizontal Story-Driven Platform game. We will explore man’s memories through the point of view of three little trinkets that he holds dear, since they represent the bonds with his loved ones. The story is about an Italian-American man’s life, going from his childhood (’70) until his old age (2020). He loses his father in combat when he’s 7 years old; this will cause him to live all his life with the fear of being abandoned by his dear ones. From a very young age, he became interested in artisanship; therefore he travelled to Italy to discover his roots and learn more about the craft.

Characters:
