Trüberbrook's ''Interrogation Trailer'' gives first insights into its story

Play Trüberbrook at gamescom!

17 August 2018 The past few weeks a lot has happened in our little Trüberbrook: Most of the villagers have been given their voices, all the houses, squares and secret science labs have been built and the team is about to go on a great journey... To give you an impression what the game looks and feels like, we have assembled our new "Interrogation Trailer". For this, we have only used hand-picked and unaltered ingame material. Have fun watching! We hope you like it!

Synchronisation and soundeffects

The tape recorders are breaking into a sweat! We are happy to report that almost every character in Trüberbrook now has a voice. Altogether, we have recorded about 3200 lines per language. It's amazing to see (or rather hear) how the good people of Trüberbrook are now becoming real personalities

The tape recorders came in handy for a second time, when we went outdoors to record our first atmospheres and soundscapes in the wild. To create a world which is as authentic as possible, we'll have to wait until September for the very last recordings, in order to allow even the native autumn birds to find their way into the game.

Stop Lord Necrosis and his masses of enemies in this unique mashup of RTS, tower-defense and RPG!

16 August 2018
Headup and Happy Tuesday unleash the undead onto Xbox One, PC and PlayStation@4 today.

Hero Defense lets you create your own strategies to fight off vampires, skeletons, angry witches and many more gruesome creatures - with style!

It innovatively mixes together RTS and tower-defense game elements. In particular, RPG elements add enormous depth by providing players with a large variety of ways to improve the heroes' many abilities. Prove your tactical prowess by utilising the most effective combinations and create your own unique playstyle.

Check out the brand-new Release Trailer:
 

Help vampire hunter Jack Sanders and his tough group put an end to the undead scourge once and for all. Jack comes from an old noble family of vampire hunters who have fought the darkness for generations. But this quest is more than just business to Jack - this time it's personal!

Count Necrosis is none other than Jack's own father, who betrayed everything his family stood for by embracing the very darkness which claimed so many of the family's lives. In response, Jack swore to hunt down and kill Count Necrosis in order to redeem the family name. But when the time comes, will Jack be able to plunge a stake into his father's heart?

You will rebuild an entire town to get access to even more upgrades, advancements, skill trees, runes, magic spells and a whole arsenal of modifiable weapons. Figure out which combos work best for you, in Hero Defense the possibilities are limitless!

Due to its dark fantasy setting - including vampires, werewolves and Igors (assembled with love!) – Hero Defense will appeal to a wide spectrum of players as well as providing them with novel challenges. In addition, you will encounter bosses, such as Bones O'Malley and Doctor Amalgam, the Igors' creator.

All five heroes' abilities are tailored around their rich backstory, reflecting their individual personalities. Improve them in multiple ways to match your gameplay style. In the end, though your strategy skills will determine whether you succeed or fail: combine your heroes' strengths and coordinate their movements efficiently. Shrines and strong auras will serve as natural ideal spots whose usage will be inevitable to defeat the hordes of sinister enemies.

Tied Together - A crazy new co-op platformer is coming to Nintendo Switch™

This game will strengthen yours and your friends' ties!

07 August 2018 Following the recent launch of RunbowHeadup Games tied themselves together with Napalmtree and announce the next crazy party game for Nintendo Switch™: Tied Together! Played cooperatively with up to four players, the game brings hours of screaming and yelling!

The colorful platformer thrusts players --Tied Together by a tiny chain by the way-- into several tricky, cooperative, experimental set-ups which only scientists could possibly come up with. In these environments, your skills of cooperating efficiently will be tested to the max as you overcome various obstacles, balance passages and deadly surfaces like spikes or lava. Not only will your skills be tested here, but also the strength of your friendship…


About Tied Together
 
One fine day a bunch of scientists created four tiny monsters. But for what? To test their cooperation skills of course! So they tied them together into a tiny monstrous chain and let them make their way through colorful, tricky, experimental set-ups which only scientists are able to come up with.

Complaining that the plot is as flat as 2D? Bullseye! You are right. The truth is: YOU are the monsters and WE are the scientists. Get tied to your friends and we will test your creativity and your ability to cooperate with each other! Think your friendship will stand this test too ?…

Single players don’t even stand a chance to handle the monsters' challenges. Also, it's a lot more fun to play with friends instead of playing alone, right? As a team you have to coordinate your movements, jumps and cling to the ground and walls in order to complete the levels and stay alive. It's not as easy as it sounds, but all the funnier! Every time your monstrous cooperative skills are not enough it will end in great chaos – and great laughter.

''The Inner World'' and ''The Last Wind Monk'' will open players' hearts on Nintendo Switch™ today

04 August 2018 The adventures The Inner World and its successor The Inner World - The Last Wind Monk will be released on Nintendo Switch™. After the initial success on other platforms, the beloved hero Robert, together with his friends Laura and Peck the pigeon, will embark on two journeys across the enchanting world of Asposia either of which you shouldn't miss.

In times of social and political turmoil - with questionable leaders and religious fanatics as well as negative thinking in general - the Inner World series might just be able to provide a positive point of view on these matters. Despite their fun and innocent surface, both The Inner World and The Inner World - The Last Wind Monk subtly address topics which resemble real processes disturbingly well.

But hey, listen, they are also great and fun games! This becomes clear if you take a look at all the awards and praise both games received for their earlier releases from the games press. From The Last Wind Monk receiving a Metacritic rating of 79 on PC as well as The Inner World winning the award for "Best German Game" (among other awards), these games are bound to be very enjoyable.

Two adventure masterpieces coming to Nintendo Switch™ on August 3rd!

Enjoy "The Inner World" and "The Last Wind Monk" on the go and discover the magical world of Asposia

01 August 2018
Holy flute nose!

The Inner World and its successor The Inner World - The Last Wind Monk are coming to Nintendo Switch™ on August 3rd!

But what to expect from the game? And who the Peck is Robert? And who is Peck BTW?
Just check out the new Features & Robert Trailer to learn more about it:

 

On August 3rd, owners of Nintendo's portable console can finally accompany our beloved hero Robert and his friends on his two journeys across the enchanting world of Asposia.

Both games --below their very fun and innocent surface-- focus on serious topics like fascism, racism and fanatic politics, or question ruthless religious leaders. In times like ours, it seems fitting to play more games like these. So, perhaps The Inner World can make the world a better place - at least a bit!

Continuously and ever since, the game has built up a huge fan base among gamers worldwide.
