UNITED LABEL HEADING TO GAMESCOM WITH A DUO OF TITLES

United Label Games :

Wednesday, 24 July 2024 – United Label, CI Games’ home for highly ambitious, lovingly crafted videogames, will feature two upcoming titles at Gamescom next month. Odd Bug Studio’s grimdark action-RPG, Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter, and Sam ‘EnrightBeats’ Enright’s sci-fi adventure-RPG, Beyond Galaxyland, will be available to play at the Koelnmesse’s Hall 10.2 - the traditional home for indie games during the show.
 

Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter will be at the Indie Arena Booth (F10g-E19), while Beyond Galaxyland will be very close by at the Indies of the Americas Pavilion (F11h). Press appointments are now open to interview the developers and play the demos during the show.

Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is the next chapter in Odd Bug Studio’s rodent grimdark action-RPG opus. The demo at Gamescom provides the opening chapter of the game, in which Arlo – son of the Warden of the North – embarks on a beast hunt with his father before returning to Winter’s Edge moments before a devastating onslaught from new nemesis: the Dark Wings. In addition to showcasing the game’s brand-new and enhanced gameplay – including monster hunting and its trademark visceral combat between rat and foe – the demo also marks the return of multi-award-winning voice actor, Doug Cockle (The Witcher 3, Baldur’s Gate 3, Alan Wake 2), as the game’s narrator.

Beyond Galaxyland is a 2.5D adventure-RPG created by Chicago-based developer and music producer, Sam Enright. Set among the stars, the game follows Doug; a high school student who's whisked away to Galaxyland moments before the destruction of planet Earth by a celestial destroyer of worlds known only as ‘The End’. The demo at Gamescom follows Doug and his anthropomorphised pet guinea pig, Boom Boom, during their interstellar journey through the wildly different environments, climates, creatures, and ultimately planets that make up Galaxyland, as they seek to somehow undo the untimely end of the World.
