After Owlcat Games announced earlier this week that they had joined as a publisher, the company has now unveiled its first title with Rue Valley. Developed by Emotion Spark Studio, this is a brand new narrative RPG where you play a guy trapped in a time loop in a town with the same name. Here you’ll find a town full of people who seem to be trapped in their own complex emotional stories, surrounded by secrets, all while dealing with your own personal mental challenges. The game feels very much like a take on the storytelling we saw in Disco Elysium. There is no release window for the game yet, but you can check out the trailer and more information here.
