Sub-Verge News

We have a new sad story for you.

You’ve lost your stupid job at the Jack of All Fruits smoothie bar. Your friends and family have had it with your anger management issues. Your only hope is that your backpack appears to be a portal to medieval times. 

Play BACKPACKWARD for free as part of the 31st Annual IFComp. There's lots of great interactive fiction this year, and you can cast your vote if you play at least 5.

Firstly, before we dive into the next Transmission, a huge THANK YOU to everybody that has picked up Sub-Verge so far and supported us with the launch. Sub-Verge is a small game, but the world and lore surrounding it is rich and deep - the game very intentionally leaves space for you to interpret and inject your own ideas and explanations into the gaps in the story.

It's been hugely rewarding to see all your responses and reactions to the game so far, and we're looking forward to shining a light on other areas of this world - and the characters within it - as our Transmission series continues.

Speaking of which!
