This week, developer Goodwin Games announced that their upcoming bicycle-bound horror title ‘Quite a Ride’ has found a publisher in the vein of Silver Lining Interactive. Quite a Ride invites players to venture into a haunting rural landscape where thick mist spawns anomalies, poisoning the land. Travelling on a bicycle, players must explore, record their findings, and survive in the ever-shifting horror to uncover the truth: What is going on?
This collaboration will help to ensure that Goodwin Games can fully focus their efforts on crafting a truly unforgettable and strange world—filled with the tension, and atmosphere that defines Quite a Ride.
“We absolutely fell in love with the concept from the moment we saw it,…” said Eben, Sales & Biz Dev Coordinator at Silver Lining. “…having worked with Goodwin Games before, on Selfloss, we already knew how thoughtful and ambitious their work is, so partnering with them again felt completely natural.”
“Trying it out, I was scared sh**less, and I loved it. It’s rare to find a game that gets under your skin in such a deliberate, unnerving way. Folks will love this one.’’
Ross, Head of Marketing at Silver Lining Interactive
