Narrative game Crackernuts in development for Switch
Today, Hairy Heart Games announced its upcoming project Crackernuts for Switch. As of now there’s no word on a release window.
Crackernuts is a short, linear narrative game with hand-made characters and sets. The story centers around a goat-headed girl and her sister, a no-bodied head, as they look to find themselves and rescue their village from a curse of darkness.
You can find further details in the following overview:
Crackernuts is a short narrative game based on a Scottish fairytale about a girl who has her head swapped with the head of a goat. Now the goat and the girl run a bookshop and they are struggling to pay their bills. The land has fallen into darkness and no-one is reading anymore. Find out what’s gone wrong, seek out the witch who transformed you, and discover the dark secret in the heart of the royal family who rule over the land.
The game is a short, linear, immersive experience – you can make choices during the game, and watch your decisions unfold as the characters interact. A stellar cast of live actors play out the parts, all mapped on to real hand-made puppets, to create a unique and one-of-a-kind story.
