Modus Games have announced that Sketchbook Games, and Fourth State’s Lost Words: Beyond the Page will launch exclusively on Google Stadia, before coming to other platforms.
The story of this 2D puzzle platformer was written by Rhianna Pratchett (Thief 2014, Rise of the Tomb Raider), taking place within the diary of a girl with a vivid imagination.
As players walk on the words and tries to find safe passage to the next page, and use words to solve problems in a fantasy world, they will (as the video description states) “navigate an emotionally moving story about loss and personal growth.”
