In Deadwood: The Forgotten Curse — which has a unique survival twist — you’ll play a teenage “woodling” and inventor called Lathe. Along with a stone giant named Roguard, you must fight back hordes of wooden zombies known as “The Deadwood” and stop their curse from spreading through the land of Knottington.

During the day, Roguard will protect you. But at night, diminutive little you must protect your huge, hulking companion, who goes to sleep when it gets dark. (I wonder when you get to sleep? I mean, there’s an adventure to be had!)

Keith Lackey, Technical Supervisor at Steamroller Studios: “Everyone here at Steamroller Studios is super excited to be partnering with Team17. We’ve been huge fans of them since the beginning, and so when we found out the feeling was mutual, we jumped at the chance to work with them. With their experience and support we’ll be free to do what we do best, which is to make an awesome game. The passion they’ve shown for our game is only matched by our own. We’re confident that together we’ll make Deadwood: The Forgotten Curse the game we’ve always wanted to make.”

Debbie Bestwick, Team17’s Managing Director: “Team17 has a long-standing reputation with gamers around the globe, and we work hard to uphold their expectations as we continue to expand our award-winning indie label.
