After spending time working on original Nintendo games for different developers, Jonathan Biddle and James Turner decided it was time to try something new.

In The Plucky Squire, players adventure through the colorful pages of a storybook. Each page offers the opportunity to present players with different styles of gameplay designed to surprise and delight the player.

But the adventures don’t end at the edge of the page, you can also leap from the book into the realistic world that surrounds it. Exploring the room and its contents, like coffee cups, plastic toys, and wooden dioramas.

The team at All Possible Futures hopes the end result is an eye-catching game that will melt your heart.
