Livestream Description
Jump online and hear from the duo as we discuss their journey and inaugral title “Castle Cab”, a hilariously chaotic action sandbox game that puts you in the horseshoes of a majestic, yet slightly unhinged, steed. Hitched to your trusty cart, you’ll gallop, drift, and crash your way through a bustling medieval world where rules are more of a suggestion.
