Escape the Gloomer

Escape the Gloomer has officially popped up on Steam, where it will soon be available for pre-order!

The second game in The Lost Legends of Redwall saga has a scheduled release date of November 16, 2018, two weeks from today.

With this Steam appearance, many more details about the game have been revealed, like the official summary:

Before Redwall Abbey, there was Kotir Castle, an abandoned fortress built over a large lake near the River Moss. It was taken over by the wildcat Verdauga Greeneyes and his Thousand Eyes army of vermin. Upon his untimely demise, his daughter Tsarmina began her evil rule. Subjugating the woodland inhabitants of Mossflower, this cruel Queen reigned using the army of a Thousand Eyes to collect food tribute from the peaceful forest dwellers. In her arsenal was a very special living weapon. A murderous insane creature kept deep in the bowels of the castle. Captured by her father, Gloomer the Greatrat was rightly feared by all. In these ancient days lived mighty heroes such as Martin the Warrior and Gonff Prince of Mousethieves.

Now our would be champion, Gillig directed by the otter leader Skipper, has been given a very special solo mission. Retrieve an ancient scroll once belonging to Verdauga. On the verge of being exiled from the otter crew, Gillig sees this as an opportunity to prove himself to the otter tribe – if he can overcome his weaknesses.

Your story begins with a descent down a rope into a ruined otter holt near Kotir Castle. What happens next will be totally up to you.

The features include:

Nine chapters of interactive play with rich descriptions
Intuitive UI that enables comfortable reading of text with page controls
Family friendly: suitable for ages 12 and up
Character development – progress Gillig from timid otter to noble warrior
Adds to Redwall lore with new backstories and familiar characters alike
Conversational Adventure™ game elements
Original illustrations created specifically for the game
Sound effects and original musical soundtrack
Professional Voice Acting

Also included on Steam are screenshots of the very beginning of Chapter 1 of the game, "Meet Gillig", which introduce the character to the player. We look forward to checking this newest entry out in mid-November.
