Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince News

The Steam Autumn Sale has started and with it the nominations for the 2019 Steam Awards! This means that you can nominate Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince for a Steam Awards category.

This year we also got to specify a category which provides you fans with an easy "Nominate" button. We chose the "Outstanding Visual Style" category for Trine 4, as we the felt that the lovely atmosphere and magical art style of Trine 4 would make for a good contender in this category. What do you think?



Note that even though we have suggested a nomination category, you can still choose another one if you think it suits the game better.
