Yes, the subsequent game from Cosmo D seems simply as surreal and musical as Off-Peak and The Norwood Suite. Today he formally introduced the primary quantity of Tales From Off-Peak City, a sequence of tales set on the identical metropolis block in his great world. I’m notably taken with a metropolis canal apparently being clear sufficient to swim in. If Cosmo D’s games weren’t already set within the kind of dreamy areas my thoughts idly wanders to, that may seal it. That and the pizza. Here, watch the trailer.
Lovely, that. Cosmo D half-announced the game in August then appeared stunned anybody observed, following-up immediately with a trailer. Mate, in fact I’m watching.
In case the plot weren’t clear from the trailer, Cosmo explains:
“It’s a hazy Sunday morning on the corner of July Avenue and Yam Street. Caetano Grosso, a former saxophone player and longtime pizza-maker, is just getting his pizza oven warmed up. Orders are trickling in, and he needs someone to help with the deliveries. You sense an opportunity, but unbeknownst to him, what you’re really after is his old saxophone, and you’re going to get it one way or another. Your pursuit will set off a chain of events across the neighborhood, taking you deep into the hidden worlds and private lives of the people living there.”
Pizza, crime, music, exploration, I’m there. Read me gushing about Off-Peak and Norwood Suite too for why. The first one, Off-Peak, continues to be free on Steam and Itch so you possibly can see for your self.
Tales From Off-Peak City Vol. 1 is due in 2020 by the top of March. Its Steam page is already up. Tales is deliberate as an anthology sequence, returning to the intersection of July Avenue and Yam Street with every game, although they’re standalone tales in themselves.
