Renowned RPG developer and publisher Owlcat Games, alongside developer Emotion Spark Studio, have revealed the first trailer for Rue Valley. This will be one of the first games published by Owlcat Games, following the announcement of its new publishing arm earlier this week.
Rue Valley is a new isometric narrative RPG about a man trapped in a time loop who is dealing with mental challenges. As the players navigate the world and deal with the tough emotions of the main character, they’ll need to understand the true nature of what’s happening at Rue Valley Motel.
Each character players encounter has their own complex emotional story, including the main character who must rise from the depths of his own struggles to uncover the secrets behind the anomaly causing the time loop.
Thanks to the game’s time loop mechanic, you can be a cold-hearted loner in one loop and a melodramatic loudmouth in the next. Each character players encounter has their own complex emotional story, including the main character who must rise from the depths of his own struggles to uncover the secrets behind the anomaly causing the time loop.
Experiment with your personalities, actions, and answers in each loop; while important memories can be stored in a graph, unlocking unique interactions around the Rue Valley Motel and new mindsets to help build out the main character.
Above all, Rue Valley has an instantly recognizable, visually appealing comic book aesthetic inspired by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Disco Elysium.
