Together with the production company btf, also located in Germany. Headup Games announces the atmospheric mystery adventure game Trüberbrook. Truber-what? Well, imagine “Twin Peaks” meeting “The X-Files”, but in rural cold-war Germany.
Today, November 14th (starting 10am GMT), Trüberbrooks Kickstarter campaign is now live. The crowdfunding project ends on December 14th, 2017. Also watch and share the brand new Kickstarter trailer. The games looking rather decent and the art style is well done. Since Trüberbrook is coming to Linux, Ubuntu, Mac and Windows. We are paying close attention.
So imagine yourself on a vacation to Europe in the late sixties. Now, picture yourself as a young American scientist; Hans Tannhauser. Yes, that’s your name in this scenario. While you’re at it, think of Trüberbrook, a remote village in rural, mountainesque region. Yet complete with densely forest in cold-war Germany. Because, that’s where you somehow end up after hitting the continent. But who cares, you won the trip in a lottery. Or at least, that’s how it seems. But don’t fear, instead of getting some rest, you could find yourself having to save the world…
In order to immerse the player to the fullest, the team chose to physically build the world we envisioned, resulting an a unique, distinct visual style. All of our scenic sets are genuinely handmade. ‘Handmade’ as in: ‘Manufactured using real hands! And fingers! Not the most efficient way of doing things, but we’re loving it! Every little detail is custom built, meticulously crafted, piece by piece. Also complete with painting, setup, re-setup and put into boxes in between. If you were wondering…yes, there is glue involved. Lots of glue!
