Our baby. A great adventure and role-playing game that will take you on the trail of a wolf and her cub in a vast open world.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/734099/f63580b2-d1c5-4d6c-b16f-93ade83b390f.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>Follow My Steps&nbsp;is a narrative role-playing game, punctuated by spectacular action scenes, which takes place in a dreamlike universe inspired by the natural world. Snowy mountains, dark forests and desolate ruins will serve as the backdrop for this great adventure. In this story, your decisions will impact the story and the outcome. It&rsquo;s up to you to make the right choices.</p> <p>Your goal: to raise and protect your cub, Lou. Survive together, and try to escape the mysterious Midnight Pack that is chasing you.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/733927/93da3f83-9709-400f-8b1d-b2582677356a.gif" width="100%" /></p> <p>Inspired by classics such as&nbsp;<em>Zelda Breath of The Wild, Okami, The Witcher, The Last Guardian&nbsp;</em>or&nbsp;<em>Shelter</em>, we wanted to create an emotional experience, a game that leaves no one indifferent and which will remain in the memory of players for a long time.</p> <p>Our team focused on writing an original and engaging story. The members of the Game Cup jury (the equivalent of the Coupe de France for video game creations) were not indifferent to the game: along with the public, they selected Follow My Steps as the best project of the 2020 edition, making our game the first winner of the competition.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/733049/e2b75cc7-9fea-4100-bafe-d88e1f030b69.png" width="100%" /></p> <p>As a first step, Follow My Steps is&nbsp;<strong>a PC game</strong>. If you pre-order one of the packs of this campaign, you will receive a PC code (Steam) in December 2022. However, the rest of the content of the packs will be delivered in December 2021.</p> <p>In Follow My Steps, you will explore a vast open world with a wolf and her cub. Using your wolf senses, you will be able to find the elements which will enable you to survive in the wilderness. You will have to solve numerous puzzles to progress, while carefully observing the environment surrounding you.</p> <p>Throughout the adventure, the player will experience the strong and unique bond between a mother and her cub. Lurking in the shadows, the Midnight Pack hunts down the wolf and her child. Protect your child by fighting spectacular and epic battles.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/733929/9071e69a-83f8-4461-b6ac-e017dc1b5195.gif" width="100%" /></p> <p>With four different styles of magic, you can vary and adapt your fighting tactics. Some boss fights should also give you adrenaline rushes, and as many lasting memories.</p> <p>Between exploration, puzzles and fight scenes, you will also have to make choices that will have consequences on the story and on your cub&rsquo;s behavior. The story will be yours, shaped by your choices and your own temperament. Hopefully, this will arouse emotions that are rarely felt in video games.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/734103/414d017b-f30c-47a2-b2ed-db10b41dbad7.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/733051/65a0130f-d85a-4c45-b83f-2c3dc692c8d4.png" width="100%" /></p> <p>The story of the game is inspired by the codes used in Disney/Pixar productions, with mature themes such as parenthood, the transmission of knowledge, the sense of responsibility, solidarity, determinism and human relationships. The game is intended to be a breath of fresh air, positive and agreeable. It will be entirely dubbed in French and English.</p> <p>You will be in charge of your cub, Lou. It&rsquo;s up to you to protect him, to help him discover the world and to provide for his needs. Throughout your adventure, Lou will ask you questions about the world around you. You will have to answer him as best you can, but be careful: each choice will have an impact on his personality and the rest of your adventure. Will you try to keep him out of danger or will you harm him to face the Midnight Pack?</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/733930/6592c5df-9953-4c58-bcb9-5b001097f7ee.gif" width="100%" /></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/733053/f0ee1120-6b6f-4b43-81cc-a81204ba21e8.png" width="100%" /></p> <p>Join us in this great adventure!
