Emotion Spark Studio is working on a narrative RPG called Rue Valley. It is the story of a man who becomes trapped in a mysterious time loop during a psychotherapy session. The main character struggles with mental health issues and must rise from the depths and delve into the anomaly to uncover its enigmatic origins. Another Angle Games is developing an isometric role-playing game in an alternate history setting of feudal Japan called Shadow of the road. It’s a gripping story of samurai, honor, and loyalty, combined with a deep tactical turn-based combat system in a world filled with magical yokai and deadly steampunk technology. Both titles are still in early development and more information will be announced at Gamescom later this month.
