Picture this, hanging out on the couch and playing a fun cartoony racing game with friends. It’s a magical moment and is hard to replicate in any medium outside of videogames. There’s obviously Mario Kart but there’s plenty of other games that provide the same moment but with visuals and mechanics that do something unique. Seashell Studio developed Running Fable to capture the brilliant moment of co-op gaming with a fun twist that unlocks players’ competitiveness.
Imagine a mix of Mario Kart with Ultimate Chicken Horse and you have Running Fable. Players will have to race to win but can add a bonus by placing obstacles and sabotaging other racers. The placement is in real time and the items placed can only be visible to the player who placed it. That means that other competitors won’t see the traps until it’s too late for them! Jumping, running, dodging, and flying is crucial to win, and the more finish lines crossed in first place, the more points awarded to the player. The many characters are fully customizable with over 40+ options, giving opponents something else to look at besides the winner’s dust!
Running Fable has released on console via Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game has also been available for PC via Steam.
