Double Fine Brings Us A Treat
The next title to come out of Tim Schafer's Double Fine Studios will be a downloadable game called Costume Quest. Essentially the game tells the story of a little boy/girl who sets out on Halloween to find their lost sister/brother (depending on what gender you choose). Schafer won't be handling the game himself, instead he'll be providing support as Lead Animator Tasha Harris takes over things. The game is still said to have the same familiar style and humour to it though. Costume Quest will see you roaming the streets for some good old fashioned trick or treating before heading into combat against imaginary monsters. You won't be alone however as other kids from the neighbourhood will join you on your quest and fight by your side. To add to the utter ridiculousness of everything, characters will also transform into imaginary representations of whatever they're dressed as, so a kid dressed in tin-foil armour with a trash can lid shield may transform into a fully fledged knight and someone dressed as a robot may transform into a huge mech. It all sounds a bit odd and quirky but what else would you expect from Double Fine. Costume Quest will be hitting the arcade and PSN on October 31st.
