About the Game

Crackernuts is a short narrative game based on a Scottish fairytale about a girl who has her head swapped with the head of a goat. Now the goat and the girl run a bookshop and they are struggling to pay their bills. The land has fallen into darkness and no-one is reading anymore. Find out what's gone wrong, seek out the witch who transformed you, and discover the dark secret in the heart of the royal family who rule over the land.

The game is a short, linear, immersive experience - you can make choices during the game, and watch your decisions unfold as the characters interact. A stellar cast of live actors play out the parts, all mapped on to real hand-made puppets, to create a unique and one-of-a-kind story.

Features:
  • Unique fairytale narrative
  • Beautiful hand made characters and sets
  • Fully motion captured performances
  • "Feature length" - finish it in a single sitting
  • Make choices and explore the characters reactions

Crackernuts is currently in development and we will release more details as we get closer to completion.
