April 2020 (London, UK): Branching Narrative has now released the full
version of its debut title, Deathtrap
Dungeon: The Interactive Video Adventure, across
PC, Mac, iOS and Android devices.
Perfect for a games night in with
friends or family, the game is a new take on the classic Fighting Fantasy gamebook by Ian Livingstone. Part story, part game, this interactive piece of
fiction allows players to become the heroes of this narrative adventure.
Starring British actor Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan, The Gentlemen, Deadpool 2),
who narrates the story and guides players throughout, this high-quality
interactive video production faithfully recreates the beloved fantasy book.
This interactive video adventure is delivered as a high-quality video steam
version of the game that allows players to make choices and direct the flow,
fully utilising the mechanics of the classic Fighting Fantasy book.
The story-based nature of the game
lends itself to a turn-based couch co-op approach and can be great fun for
groups voting on (or just shouting out) the choices in the narrative.
Deathtrap Dungeon, was originally released in 1984 as, arguably, the most popular
chapter of the Fighting Fantasy series, and challenges the player to survive
the ‘Trial of Champions’ that takes place in the labyrinth of Fang, full of
fiendish tricks, traps and deadly creatures set by the devious Baron Sukumvit.
“We’re really excited to be able to
release the game across all these platforms, to give as many people as possible
the chance to experience Ian Livingstone’s fabulous story for themselves,” said
Matt Spall Co-founder of Branching Narrative. “The game offers a wonderful
escape from reality and can bring together family and friends to engage in a
fun and entertaining adventure. Faithful to the original book, the story and
artwork are family-friendly, yet still build plenty of suspense to engage and
surprise.”
Ian Livingstone, author of Deathtrap Dungeon, said: “Story-telling stimulates the imagination in many ways and giving
people choice adds a unique dimension to the experience. Eddie Marsan and
Branching Narrative have combined to produce an enthralling adaptation of my
book. I look forward to Eddie luring participants to their doom. The clue is in
the title!”
