Step Inside The Mind of a Struggling Game Developer With The Prisoning’s Steam Next Fest Demo
Swedish indie developer Elden Pixels are excited to announce the demo for their upcoming comedic metroidvania The Prisoning: Fletcher’s Quest is now available to download on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest.
Step into the frazzled brain of Fletcher Howie Jr., a developer hanging on by a thread during the final stages of a massive project. After a post-crunch therapy session goes sideways, Fletcher finds himself trapped in his subconscious, where he’ll double-jump through trauma, shoot his inner demons, and yes… literally jump the shark.
To celebrate the demo’s release, Elden Pixels has prepared a new gameplay trailer, offering a minds-eye view of Fletcher’s fractured psyche.
