Developer Mi’pu’mi Games and publisher astragon Entertainment have announced a brand-new partnership today for the upcoming title Howl. Howl is a turn-based adventure game and astragon Entertainment will be managing all of its publishing work while working alongside Mi’pu’mi Games. As of now, astragon Entertainment has taken over all of the publishing work of the game. The tactical-narrative folktale Howl features players riding the lands of a plague called the eponymous ‘Howl’.
In Howl, you are a deaf prophetess, and you must survive in a world afflicted by an acoustic plague, and everyone who comes in contact with this plague is turned into a wolf. You must take every step of the game cautiously to outmaneuver your enemies and emerge victorious. The main highlight of Howl is its amazing visuals which are created using ‘Living Ink’. This is a fluid, dynamic watercolor art color that illustrates the story as you play. You will make your way through a dark fantasy world while fighting to find your lost brother and get rid of the plague.
Julia Pfiffer, Co-CEO of astragon Entertainment comments:
We are very pleased to be able to work with the extremely talented team from Mi’pu’mi Games. With Howl, they present a fairy-tale adventure that stands out above all with unique visuals and tells an exciting story. The title will further diversify our extensive publishing portfolio.
Martin Filipp, COO and Managing Director of Mi’pu’mi Games also adds:
With astragon Entertainment we have found a strong publishing partner. Howl will benefit from astragon’s many years of experience in the areas of producing, marketing, distribution and publishing, and we are very much looking forward to working with them.
Key features of Howl include:
- Tactics: Players must always stay one step ahead of the enemy’s actions in order to succeed in the turn-based battles. One wrong decision can put the heroine in dangerous situations and there is a lot at stake.
- Unique visual style: Through “living ink” the beautiful fairy tale world becomes alive as you play.
- Unlockable skills: New skills can be unlocked and improved to stay on par with the opponent.
- Challenging: 60 levels in four chapters are waiting to be freed from evil.
