Cloak and Dagger Games is an independent team of three adventure game enthusiasts: Shaun Aitchenson, John Inch, and Laurie Mh. Their most recent releases include Football Game in 2018 and Legend of  Hand in late 2017 (which remains one of my personal favorites).

For the past year, they have been working on Sumatra: Fate of Yandi which is approaching completion. With the pixelated look and feel of a retro-adventure game, Sumatra is played from a 3rd person perspective with text dialog. The main character, Yandi, is a villager employed by the Pandang Logging Company. He is working deep in the jungle on the island of Sumatra when a sudden landslide leaves him lost and alone. Your job is to guide Yandi through the jungle with the goal of survival and escape. You will face diverse challenges and meet interesting characters (human and otherwise) along the way.

Those familiar with Cloak and Dagger may have played their free mini-game Pendek that was created for Adventure Jam in 2015. Sumatra: Fate of Yandi reintroduces the main character from this early title and expands the storyline and landscape into a full-length adventure. For trivia buffs, the word “pendek” means “short person” in Indonesian and refers to a primate that is said to frequent the remote forests of Sumatra (think Bigfoot’s much smaller but equally mysterious cousin).

Cloak and Dagger promises an “intriguing story with interesting characters and unfolding mysteries.” Sumatra: Fate of Yandi is already listed on Steam and can be added to your wishlist. For additional information, visit the game website.
