Trüberbrook's ''Interrogation Trailer'' gives first insights into its story
Play Trüberbrook at gamescom!
17 August 2018 The past few weeks a lot has happened in our little Trüberbrook: Most of the villagers have been given their voices, all the houses, squares and secret science labs have been built and the team is about to go on a great journey... To give you an impression what the game looks and feels like, we have assembled our new "Interrogation Trailer". For this, we have only used hand-picked and unaltered ingame material. Have fun watching! We hope you like it!Synchronisation and soundeffects
The tape recorders are breaking into a sweat! We are happy to report that almost every character in Trüberbrook now has a voice. Altogether, we have recorded about 3200 lines per language. It's amazing to see (or rather hear) how the good people of Trüberbrook are now becoming real personalities
The tape recorders came in handy for a second time, when we went outdoors to record our first atmospheres and soundscapes in the wild. To create a world which is as authentic as possible, we'll have to wait until September for the very last recordings, in order to allow even the native autumn birds to find their way into the game.

Count Necrosis is none other than Jack's own father, who betrayed everything his family stood for by embracing the very darkness which claimed so many of the family's lives. In response, Jack swore to hunt down and kill Count Necrosis in order to redeem the family name. But when the time comes, will Jack be able to plunge a stake into his father's heart?
You will rebuild an entire town to get access to even more upgrades, advancements, skill trees, runes, magic spells and a whole arsenal of modifiable weapons. Figure out which combos work best for you, in Hero Defense the possibilities are limitless!
Due to its dark fantasy setting - including vampires, werewolves and Igors (assembled with love!) – Hero Defense will appeal to a wide spectrum of players as well as providing them with novel challenges.

All five heroes' abilities are tailored around their rich backstory, reflecting their individual personalities. Improve them in multiple ways to match your gameplay style. In the end, though your strategy skills will determine whether you succeed or fail: combine your heroes' strengths and coordinate their movements efficiently. Shrines and strong auras will serve as natural ideal spots whose usage will be inevitable to defeat the hordes of sinister enemies.

About Tied Together
One fine day a bunch of scientists created four tiny monsters. But for what? To test their cooperation skills of course! So they tied them together into a tiny monstrous chain and let them make their way through colorful, tricky, experimental set-ups which only scientists are able to come up with.
Complaining that the plot is as flat as 2D? Bullseye! You are right. The truth is: YOU are the monsters and WE are the scientists. Get tied to your friends and we will test your creativity and your ability to cooperate with each other! Think your friendship will stand this test too ?…
Single players don’t even stand a chance to handle the monsters' challenges. Also, it's a lot more fun to play with friends instead of playing alone, right? As a team you have to coordinate your movements, jumps and cling to the ground and walls in order to complete the levels and stay alive. It's not as easy as it sounds, but all the funnier! Every time your monstrous cooperative skills are not enough it will end in great chaos – and great laughter.
