ARTE and Swing Swing Submarine unveil their next video game LOOKING FOR FAEL

This puzzle adventure video game will be released on PC and Mac in 2025

Paris, August 21 2024 – ARTE and the Swing Swing Submarine studio are proud to announce their new 3D adventure and puzzle video game Looking for Fael, which will be available on PC and Mac via Steam in 2025.
 
This new creation from the Swing Swing Submarine studio, published by ARTE, promises players a nostalgic, fantastic and surrealistic experience. Inspired by puzzle games such as Myst, The Witness and Fez, and taking influences from 90s fantasy cinema, Looking for Fael offers a unique universe with its own rules.
 
The player will have to find Fael, a friend who has left him a disturbing phone message explaining that he has lost his way in his own flat. The player quickly ventures into a surreal maze of flats. The only way to navigate through this labyrinth is to understand its logic. That means getting lost in turn: exploring, examining, experimenting, and trying to discover the true nature of these places.

To open all the doors and corridors, and access certain rooms, players will have to work their brains out and solve numerous mysteries, using the GameLeaf, an intriguing retro portable console to help them complete the levels. Each game is a piece of the puzzle that brings players closer to the truth about Fael’s disappearance.

Experimentation is at the heart of the experience, and players will need to be very attentive and interact with the setting, as every detail is important, from photo frames to seemingly uninteresting furniture, everything can be a clue to solve a puzzle. The world of the flat is full of surprises, and players will have to think outside the box to progress. As they solve Fael’s mysterious disappearance, players will also have to question the very nature of reality.

WEATHER EVENTS & BABY ANIMALS: MORE FARMING SIMULATOR 25 FEATURES REVEALED AT GAMESCOM

Animals get cuter, more varied and the weather more challenging: Showing off the upcoming agricultural sim at gamescom, publisher and developer GIANTS Software reveals new features for Farming Simulator 25. Attendees visiting the games fair in Cologne can play-test the game from August 21st to 25th in hall 6. GIANTS Software is also present in the business area (hall 4.2).

  • Two new animal types: water buffaloes and goats
  • Animals get offspring, cute baby animals roam the pens
  • Weather events with twisters and hail bear new challenges

Weather Shift: Twisters with a Chance of Hail

When virtual farmers see darkening clouds in the sky, it could be a sign of some serious weather on the way. Expecting a light twister or hail to touch down in a few areas, they need to take precautions and secure any unroofed bales. While the skies will clear and the new weather events will pass, they always carry the chance of destroying a portion of fields and forests. Players can deactivate the destruction of crops if they like their yield untouched by the weather.

Cuteness Upgrade for Animal Husbandry

With water buffaloes and goats, new animal types fill the pens, producing new types of milk that can be processed and used in production chains to acquire and distribute fine cheeses. Increasing the cuteness factor and fluffiness of the fur, animals produce offspring. Wobbling on their tiny legs at first, animal farmers watch them grow into productive livestock.

Farming Simulator 25 will be released on PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 12th. It features 25 crops, including new additions like rice and spinach, 400+ authentic vehicles and tools as well as 150 real-world brands. Pre-orders are available now at select retailers.
