From Press Release:
Warsaw, Poland (July 25, 2024) – Cherrypick Games — a renowned video game studio previously known for its library of highly successful mobile games (My Hospital, My Spa Resort, Touchdown Hero, Kingdoms: Merge & Build, and many more) — is thrilled to announce its first premium multiplatform game, Angst: A Tale of Survival.
Cherrypick Games’ Angst: A Tale of Survival is a riveting survival game with rogue-lite player progression, featuring stylized visuals and lore-rich quests; it will premiere first on Windows PC via Steam Early Access in early 2025.
You awaken in an old cabin in the middle of a frozen taiga. The last thing you remember is a massive snowstorm intensifying before you blacked out. You try to discover what happened to you, yet it feels like you’ve done this many times before.
Do you even know your name?
What is The Hopeward Hollow,
Angst: A Tale of Survival is an atmospheric wilderness survival game that takes you on a journey through a limbo-like world where nothing is as it seems. As you venture deeper into the snowy wilderness, you’ll encounter an array of biomes with unique characteristics and find new quests that unravel the secrets of this world’s mysterious past. To survive in this frozen realm, you must craft tools and weapons, hunt, fish, and upgrade your skills and gear. Angst: A Tale of Survival’s rogue-lite progression system complements its slow-paced survival gameplay, where resource and character management, coupled with environmental exploration, takes precedence over traditional combat and skill-based gameplay.
In short, fight to survive against the otherworldly elements (and whatever else lurks in the icy darkness) — as this seems to be the only way out of The Hopeward Hollow.
“Following a decade in the mobile gaming space, with 23 self-released projects that have achieved over 30 million downloads worldwide, Cherrypick Games enters an exciting new era,” said Martin Kwansnica, CEO/Product Strategy of Cherrypick Games. “While fellow studio co-founder Michael Sroczyński and I have previously worked in the PC and console games market, Angst: A Tale of Survival is Cherrypick Games’ first premium title, designed from the ground up for multiple platforms. We are excited to show PC and console gamers what the Cherrypick Games team is capable of with this original title.”
