If you've been curious about our FMV/Adventure game Headspun but been put off at the idea of spending money (eww) perhaps this email is for you! We're opening the floodgates and throwing a Pay What You Want Weekend over on itch.io - meaning you can pick up our quirky narrative game for as little as absolutely nothing at all. That's cheaper than literally any price you can think of!
As we approach the start of the new year, we’ve given our Patreon page a lick of paint in anticipation of a big 2020 for Superstring on Patreon. As well as revamping all of our rewards tiers, we’re now offering a copy of our FMV/Adventure hybrid Headspun (your platform of choice; PS4, Xbox One, Switch or PC) to ALL new Patrons - which includes those coming in at the base $2 tier.
It's out! Over three years since the first line of code was written, our weird little FMV/Adventure hyrbid - our debut release as a studio - is now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam (the Nintendo Switch version will drop this Friday!). Also, for the next week, there's 10% off the game to celebrate launch - get it while it's hot!
Headspun was an idea born out of reading too many pop-psychology books; I loved the concept of the competing voices in our heads and wanted to personify the different drives and desires that form our personalities. Choosing live-action - in part - to tell that story seemed like a natural fit. I'm incredibly proud of the end result; a true genre-hybrid that fuses elements of the Adventure, RPG and FMV genres into something new.
In the game, you'll take on the role of Ted; the Director of Cortex, and the rational, intelligent voice in the brain of Theo Kavinksy, who wakes from a five week coma at the start of the game. From there, it's up to you to rebuild Cortex, and work out what happened the day of Theo's accident.
The game is available now, but if you wanted to bag yourself the official OST and t-shirt at the same time, we have some exclusive bundles available on our Store.
To everybody that reads these posts or follows any of our other channels: a huge thank you. It's been a long road up until this point, and I can't wait for y'all to try out the game.

I'll cut straight to the mustard: Headspun - our FMV/Adventure set in the human brain - will be releasing on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC and Mac on August 28th, 2019. That's, like, just over a month away!
Bonkers, I know.
Pre-order pages for console are on the way, but you can add the game to your Steam wishlist today.
Until then, then…
