Vienna, March 16, 2017 - Austrian developer Mipumi Games has today launched the third episode of their narrative series The Lion’s Song for PC on Steam. Episode 3 - Derivation focuses on Viennese mathematician Emma whose brilliant academic achievements are not well received in the male-dominated science circle of the early 20th century. But what if she pretended to be a man?
You can watch the launch trailer for Episode 3 - Derivation here.
"In the first two episodes, the main characters were largely struggling with excelling in their discipline, as well as finding themselves, whereas Emma faces an additional challenge: being accepted as a woman in academia", says Mipumi CEO Gregor Eigner. “We wondered how many brilliant minds were held back by such social conventions and wanted to shine a light on a story where a genius might succeed against all odds."
All episodes of The Lion’s Song are steeped in early 20th century history and show a cast of Austrian artists and scientists, with each episode taking a closer look at their intimate struggles with creativity and inspiration. Players can take the characters on very different paths and enjoy alternative playthroughs. The choices players make in each episode will have a direct impact on the storylines of all future and past episodes, connecting The Lion’s Song with one overarching narrative.
The third instalment is available for £3.49 / €3,99 / $3,99 or via a Season Pass for £8.99 / €9,99 / $9,99. The Season Pass includes Episode 2 and 3 as well as an upcoming final episode. You can try Episode 1 - Silence for free on Steam.
You can find The Lion’s Song on Steam, the official website and follow the game on social media via Facebook and Twitter.
