In upcoming PlayStation 4 title Stories: The Hidden Path, gamers can alter the past and future and create the game's story as they go along.
Created by Spearhead Games, Stories is an action-RPG set in a world that features airships, floating islands and magic. The game tells the story of Reynardo, a hero who serves as the last person capable of taking down an imperial armada that threatens the entire world. The fate of the world is in Reynardo's hands, but how will he choose to save it?
That decision lies with the player. Every choice made in the game affects its story in real-time, with the narration even changing to reflect what's decided.
"You are the last sky corsair, the final hope of the people," writes Spearhead on the Stories: The Hidden Path website. "With Spearhead's unprecedented storytelling system, there is no set path: Your actions affect not only the flow of events, but also the motivations and behaviors of other characters, making each playthrough a new experience."
Here's the first trailer for Stories: The Hidden Path.
"We want to make Stories more than a traditional action-RPG, so we're crafting a fresh storytelling system that we think will bring extra charm – and maybe even a few surprises – to our newest title," Spearhead writes. "We're super-proud of how the game is turning out and very excited to share more with you all in the coming months."
This announcement comes several weeks before PAX Prime, which starts on Aug. 28 in Seattle. The developer urges all PAX attendees to swing by its booth to try out a demo of Stories: The Hidden Path.
There is no official release date for Stories: The Hidden Path, but the game is exclusive to PlayStation 4. You can also learn more about the game on its official website.
