Future Friends Games To Release Stilstand On August 27th

Future Friends Games and Denmark-based Nilla Games revealed this week that they will be releasing their upcoming game Stilstand on August 27th. The game's look and design were created by Ida Hartmann, a Copenhagen artist with ties to the underground comic and zine culture in the city. For those of you unfamiliar with this game, this is a haunting and darkly comedic interactive graphic novel where you follow a woman through her own dark but hopeful personal journey. You spend a summer in the character's shoes as she deals with her personal anxiety, loneliness, and ability to try and stay afloat in Copenhagen. Which she does with a little bit of help from a weird shadow monster who has taken up residence in her apartment. The story and the art are pretty phenomenal and are really interesting to explore, as you'll be able to play the game in a couple of weeks. For now, enjoy the screenshots and the trailer below, along with a little more info on the story.
