Hello there,
We think you may be interested in the latest project created by our group of independent Italian developers, writers and artists.

In a nutshell:
Gamebook + Interactive fiction + Adventure game = The Secret of Castel Lupo

Our original Castel Lupo app, with over 50,000 Italian users, has just been translated into English. It is now available on the Apple Store and on Google Play: The Secret of Castel Lupo.

Our app combines traditional children’s stories with elements from modern video games. The main educational purpose of The Secret of Castel Lupo is to get young children interested in reading through play. The Secret of Castel Lupo helps develop the
readers/players powers of reasoning and thinking: these skills are necessary to solve the interactive riddles to get to the end of the story/game.

Designed for children from the age of 8+, we feel our app is nice way create a passion for reading. Even though our app is targeted at very young users, we are confident that adults will also enjoy it.

The game includes two parallel stories, you can choose whether to play as Simon or his sister Violet. The castle where the story is played out is the same, but the puzzles and their solutions change radically. In a sense they are two completely different
adventures.

In the game you will encounter twelve characters to interact with, thirty-five rooms full of puzzles and riddles along with some mini-games designed specifically to teach players about important moments of history.

The Italian version of the app has collected more than 50,000 downloads across Google Play and Apple Store and the ratings are very high; as I write on Google Play we have an average score of 4.6 (from 5) after 803 reviews.

If you want to try the app, we would really appreciate some feedback!

We are available to give you more background information if you need it.
