Flavourworks, the developer of Erica and Cuttlefish, has been bought by Telltale Games to bring both teams together to build “best-in-class narrative games.”“Fans today want to interact with their favourite IPs more deeply, and interactive narratives are a really immersive way to do that,” said Telltale Games CEO Jamie Ottilie in a press statement (via GameSpot). “At the same time, people want to access their games from wherever they are, regardless of device or platform.”As such, working with Flavourworks allows the Californian company to utilise its technology to deepen the emotional weight of its stories and heighten the level of interactivity.“Flavourworks’ technology and interactive video expertise will enable us to efficiently create story-based games and reach more people through streaming and new platforms.
