SPOOKWARE Episode 1 hits Steam with 60+ microgames
Published by DreadXP and developed by BEESWAX Games, SPOOKWARE is launching today on Steam – Episode 1, that is!
Get ready to solve a murder mystery on a cruise ship, file your taxes (the horror!) … or start a high school band just to skip out of class in this cheerful collection of the quirkiest, spookiest microgames ever.
FUNNY BONES
Sure, we’ve all heard about living life to its fullest … but what about death?! In SPOOKWARE, join three skelebros (Lefti, Midi, and Righti) on a grand road trip – and play hundreds of handcrafted, fast-paced, horror-inspired microgames along the way. Each episode includes three chapters with their own areas, microgames, mechanics, and stories. Challenge yourself with a wide collection of blazing fast microgames built around horror tropes – more than 60 in the first episode alone. Each microgame takes only a few seconds – so be sure to use your wits to survive the onslaught of wildly different, blood-curdling experiences.
However, this isn’t JUST a bunch of microgames mushed together. Blending arcade-style microgame medleys with classic adventure games, each microgame is carefully interwoven within the story. And every area features completely new gameplay mechanics to test your microgame skills – going as far as changing up control schemes!
DEVELOPER QUOTES
“Originally a game jam project, SPOOKWARE showed a lot of promise very early on – which is why we decided to invest in the IP and help BEESWAX Games fulfill their original vision.”
– Patrick Ewald (Owner & Producer, DreadXP)
“Once we were on board, the first addition was the three protagonists – Lefti, Midi, and Righti – who happen to be on a road trip for the ages. With a solid framing device, we had everything we needed to expand the roster of microgames and tie everything together to tell a story about brotherhood, our shared love of movies – and bad skeleton puns.”
– Ted Hentschke (Head of Production, DreadXP)
