Cats-with-hats adventure Hot Tin Roof leaping to PCs in 2014
Hot Tin Roof: The Cat That Wore A Fedora isn't just an indie game with a cat-chy name, but it's now a Kickstarter success as its crowdfunding efforts concluded yesterday with $25,457. Described as a "side-scrolling adventure platformer," Hot Tin Roof places players in the shoes of Emma Jones, a private investigator inquiring into a "string of grisly murders" in a 3D city. The Glass Bottom Games-developed adventure will ship on PC, Mac and Linux for $15 in mid-2014. A project update noted that Cerulean Games will bring Hot Tin Roof to iOS and Android alongside the main version. Hot Tin Roof is seeking community approval to launch on Steam via Greenlight.
