Insomniac Games, the company responsible for highly entertaining console game titles like "Sunset Overdrive" and "Ratchet & Clank," will soon unveil its first PC game next week.
The new game titled "Slow Down, Bull" is the studio's first venture in PC gaming. Insomniac Games decided to develop this action-collecting title after game designer Lisa Brown came up with an experimental prototype concept that may not fall under the triple A title category that the studio is known for.
The game designer focused on creating a game with a very different game mechanic. She came up with a design that could suppress the action instead of making it move with a press of a button. This mechanism made the new game unique and exciting, according to the game developer.
The plot of the game revolves around its protagonist named Esteban. He is described as an perfectionist bull who enjoys making beautiful art.
Players of the game should aim to collect as many art pieces as they can before the specified time lapses. However, they should avoid stressing Esteban, or he will destroy all the decorations that were already collected. This means that players should minimize steering Esteban's directions to avoid elevating his stress level. More characters are expected to be introduced during its release.
Insomniac Games also created "Slow Down, Bull" in partnership with Starlight Children's Foundation, a group that aims to provide aid for kids and families all over the world.
According to the official announcement from Insomniac Games, "Starlight Children's Foundation will receive 50% of the net proceeds received by Insomniac Games from Slow Down, Bull — no less than 30% of the purchase price." The game can be purchased for only $5.99 in the US.
"Slow Down, Bull" is expected to be released by Insomniac Games on Steam starting April 20. But players who cannot wait for its release can check the updates via its Twitter and Facebook pages.
