by

Wildflower Interactive, a studio founded in 2022 by Bruce Straley – the director of games like Uncharted 2, The Last of Us, and Uncharted 4 – has revealed its first game, Coven of the Chicken Foot. This puzzle platformer adventure is planned for release on PC through Steam, though a specific date hasn’t been announced yet.

Bruce Straley, founder of Wildflower Interactive, explained in a press release that the studio was founded on a passion for creative exploration and collaboration, with a goal of redefining what video games can offer players. Their new game, Coven of the Chicken Foot, reflects this by combining the charm of classic games with innovative storytelling and gameplay. Straley expressed his pride in the team’s work and excitement for players to experience the unique world and characters they’ve created.

Here is an overview of the game, via Wildflower Interactive:

About

The dungeons are empty, stripped of treasure and monsters. While heroes celebrate their victories and move on to new adventures, an old witch named Gertie begins her own work. She’s waited a long time to show her skills to her fellow witches. Determined to challenge these self-important heroes and their arrogance, she needs help from a peculiar creature.

Coven of the Chicken Foot is a charming and heartfelt puzzle-platformer with a unique world that playfully references classic fantasy games. Players control Gertie as she explores spooky dungeons, vibrant forests, ancient catacombs, and dangerous swamps. But Gertie isn’t a traditional hero – she can’t fight with swords or jump very high. Instead, she relies on her unusual companion and learns to work with them to overcome obstacles and survive.

Gert has a new companion – a fascinating creature that learns and changes based on its interactions with a witch. As they travel together, the companion begins to show its own personality and goals. Wildflower Interactive used cutting-edge technology to create this unique, non-playable ally. It’s a dynamic character that reacts to the player and develops new skills and motivations throughout the game.

Coven of the Chicken Foot offers a large, explorable world filled with intricate systems and a captivating story told through its environment. The game encourages players to investigate and discover secrets for themselves. The connection between the main character, Gertie, and a mysterious creature is at the heart of the game, and as their relationship develops, players gain a deeper understanding of the world and its lore.

Key Features

  • The Unlikely Hero – Step into the role of a fresh new hero. Play as Gertie, an elderly witch whose resolve and care become her greatest strengths. Not your typical action hero, Gert will need to learn to work with her oddball companion if she’s to overcome the dangers and obstacles that lay in her path.
  • A Playable Relationship – Driven by innovative technology, Wildflower has created unique companion-based gameplay where your creature-companion can observe, learn, and develop new behaviors based on contextual situations. But this creature is also a fully-realized character, with motivations, surprises, and interests all its own.
  • Wordless Storytelling – The duo in this adventure do not share a common tongue, intentionally, so players are driven to discover the creature’s true intentions themselves. Through environmental storytelling, Wildflower lets the world itself reveal the narrative, inviting players to discover the story firsthand.
  • Explore a Fantasy Realm – Through a striking, whimsical visual style, players explore abandoned dungeons, lush forestry, and torch-lit caves that mix hand-drawn charm with dark undertones.
