To celebrate the release of narrative puzzle platformer Tin Hearts, Wired Productions and Rogue Sun have teamed up with none other than Stephen Fry to narrate an animated short film The Little Soldier Who Dared, that acts as a prequel to the game.
From some of the people behind Fable, Tin Hearts is a narrative-driven puzzle platformer set in an alternative Victorian world. In it, you guide a troop of tin soldiers through over 50 levels filled with whimsical and inventive contraptions (think the Mario vs Donkey Kong series with more narrative behind it).
Throughout your journey, you’ll learn more about Albert J Butterworth, a genius inventor, in what’s labelled a deeply emotional, thought-provoking story spanning generations and dimensions.
