The Plucky Squire has been a long-anticipated game that has finally been announced to be released on September 17. Developed by All Possible Futures, a studio founded by Jonathan Biddle and James Turner, the game combines classic 2D and 3D gameplay styles into a unique whole. Players take on the role of Jot, a character in a series of children’s books, who must prevent the antagonist from changing the story. With a mix of traditional platforming, word puzzles, and 3D exploration, The Plucky Squire offers a whimsical and charming experience that is enhanced by the game’s narrator. The ability to leap from the flat plane of the storybook into a fully 3D world adds a new dimension to the gameplay, revealing how Jot’s actions influence the child who owns the book. With a variety of puzzle mechanics, minigames inspired by well-known properties, and a high level of polish throughout, The Plucky Squire promises to be a delightful and enjoyable gaming experience, available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
