Bruce Straley Reveals Debut Game "Coven of the Chicken Foot" at The Game Awards

The debut from Wildflower Interactive centers on a reactive creature that learns from player behavior.

Overview

  • It is a single-player, character-puzzle-platformer that emphasizes exploration within contained biomes.
  • The protagonist, Gertie, is an elderly witch who overcomes challenges by collaborating with a creature rather than relying on traditional combat.
  • Straley describes the companion’s learning in three stages: curiosity, mimicry, and assimilation.
  • The narrative approach prioritizes environmental storytelling and emergent, player-specific moments over a scripted three-act structure.
  • The game is in development for Windows PC with a Steam wishlist available, and no release date or additional platforms have been announced.
