Yesterday, Cactus Production launches their new demo for An Everyday Story during this week’s Steam Next Fest. This is the studio’s first game, and with the new demo being out they’ve passed another milestone on their journey of developing An Everyday Story.

“Since An Everyday Story was our first game we initially struggled during the early development phase”, said Allesio Oliva, Narrative Lead Designer at Cactus Production, and continues: “But thanks to a lengthy learning process and hard work we pushed through and reached almost the end of development! Of course, we cannot thank our core members enough for their efforts, but we also have to mention the incredible work done by the contractors we worked with; both groups have been amazing despite our lack of experience and the many difficulties”.

“Our most important objective is to establish a connection with the players: we always wanted to tell stories that feel relatable and personal. And in order to do that, we address universal themes like family, loss, love and friendship. After all, the stories that touch us all are the ones that overcome cultural and generational differences, are they not?” said Roberto Vergine, Founder of Cactus Production.

The History
An Everyday Story is a 2.5D Horizontal Story-Driven Platform game. We will explore man’s memories through the point of view of three little trinkets that he holds dear, since they represent the bonds with his loved ones. The story is about an Italian-American man’s life, going from his childhood (’70) until his old age (2020). He loses his father in combat when he’s 7 years old; this will cause him to live all his life with the fear of being abandoned by his dear ones. From a very young age, he became interested in artisanship; therefore he travelled to Italy to discover his roots and learn more about the craft.

Characters
– Steam Boat, the symbol of love between the protagonist and his wife. The boat can carry and pull the heaviest stuff with its anchor, navigate water and push objects to move them.
