Electric Saint :

Crash headfirst into this witch-tech open world, drifting and driving on the back of your new motorbroom. Make deliveries, trick out your broom, and race your new friends (and crushes) as the sun sets. Decorate your flat, sort your life out, and discover what it means to find home.

Electric Saint has announced their debut game, Crescent County, at the PC Gaming Show, on the 9th of June. The announcement trailer is HERE and the game is now available for wishlisting on Steam and Xbox.

Crescent County is a single player, open-world, delivery life-sim, set on a painterly, witch-tech, solarpunk island. You play as Lu, a messy young adult figuring herself out, who falls in love with the exhilarating world of motorbrooms. As a courier by day and street racer by night, you’ll get into the local gossip, decorate your (slightly tragic) new flat, and build a found family from the cast of delightful weirdos motorbroom enthusiasts you meet.
 

“I’ve had Crescent County, and this world, living in my head since 2017. I need to make it. If I don’t make it I will start peeling off wallpaper with my teeth.” says Anna Hollinrake, founder and Creative Director. “We’re obsessed with building crunchy motorbroom gameplay with moreish home decoration and broom upgrade systems, whilst sticking a big vulnerable heart in the middle of it. We call it cozy-with-bite: making this beautiful, wholesome world people want to live in, and still have a tonne of fun, with challenge you can opt in to. Plus we want romance in there, but like, the messy kind.”

On the worldbuilding in Crescent County, Anna comments “I think genre mashups are where all the interesting stuff is. It’s sci fi and fantasy remixed to make souped-up motorbike brooms, and bathed in vibey lofi and alt-rock, playing out of your chunky 00s flip phone. It’s roller derby, scrappy, do-it-yourself zine subculture. It’s Ghibli but with considerably more crop tops and chokers. Getting to have The Beths soundtrack our announcement trailer was an absolute dream.”

When it comes to building Crescent County, founder and Technical Director Pavle Mihajlovic says “New technology like Unreal 5’s World Partition and Nanite are allowing smaller teams like ours to make big, open-world games. This is a huge opportunity to make new kinds of games that explore new ideas and themes. Crescent County is a love letter to what we adore about video games, exploring new worlds and losing yourself in the flow state of mastering a brand new skill.”
 

Pavle continues “On top of that, inventing a brand new type of vehicle allows us to create completely new types of driving - you can do 180 drifts, or pull on the handlebars to boost over a fence! Making games is fun.”
