Details:

Join us at the Pheasant Plucker to listen to Augusts’ keynote speaker Tabby and Jeff Rose from Axon Interactive Inc. (based out of Toronto) one half of the team behind Quench. Afterwards enjoy some drinks, chat with Tabby and Jeff, then get a hands on experience with Quench only at GameDevDrinks.

Quench is a story-driven puzzle game set in a lo-fi, geometric landscape. You play as Shepherd, an avatar of nature, and you have the power to control the weather to guide herds of animals on a perilous journey. You must provide for your flock, open blocked paths, thwart enemies, and otherwise tend the land to make it lush and green again. Quench is inspired by uplifting and joyful classics such as The Lion King and Avatar: The Last Airbender and games like Journey and Okami. You will experience unique and wonderful environments, memorable characters, be awed by your own power, and be presented with a lesson: in order to make a better world, we must all do our part.
