Zoink Announce Ghost Giant
June 10, in the year of our Lord 2018 --
Zoink Games, Creators of Fe, announces Ghost Giant - a brand new
title releasing exclusively for PlayStation VR.
“Ghost Giant is Zoink’s take on VR. No crazy roller coasters or
zombie shooting, just you and your tiny friend going through a
warm story about being there for someone else”, says Klaus
Lyngeled, CEO and Creative Lead.
Be The Protector of Louis
At its heart, Ghost Giant is a heartfelt story about trying to
keep life together with a little help from a very big friend.
It’s a new kind of puzzle adventure where you - the Ghost Giant
- are the protector of the lonely little boy Louis. Invisible to
everyone but him you can explore his world and help him and the
citizens of his hometown.
”I’ve always wanted to become friends with a game’s characters
and with Ghost Giant it really feels like that - with VR I am
inside the story, I am this little guys giant buddy!”, Klaus
continues.
Your Own Dollhouse
Using your enormous hands you make Louis’ hometown your own
little dollhouse sandbox. Move furniture, vehicles and trees and
open up entire buildings to reveal stories going on inside. Meet
colorful personalities like the crime author owl looking for a
muse, a grumpy old goat guarding that key so you desperately
need and the self-appointed magpie master thief.
From Novels to Video Games
For the creation of Ghost Giant, Zoink has teamed up with
acclaimed writer Sara B. Elfgren. Known for mastering a lot of
different formats, Sara has worked her way through novels and
fiction podcast series via children’s books. Her Engelsfors
series, written in collaboration with Mats Strandberg, has been
translated to 25 languages and published in over 30 countries.
“It's incredibly challenging and fun to tell a story through
such a different and immersive media, and involving an
accomplished writer like Sara Bergmark Elfgren from the start
has just been a blast”, says Olov Redmalm, Creative Director.
