## Space Tales: Prologue ### Developer doradoro ### Publisher Self Published ### Private Funding and Investment None ### Crowdfunding Not considered as an option for a first game with such niche mechanics ### Game Engine Defold ### Teaser Trailer (feel free to embed it) [Youtube](https://youtu.be/J3DeUEXucP4) ### Platforms Steam, itch.io ### Minimum Requirements Ability to decode an MPEG 1080p video using the CPU ### Price Free ### Subtitle languages ### Voice languages ### Release Date 2025 ### Pitch & Description An episodic space video game saga that combines mechanics from various genres, such as FMV, graphic adventures, text adventures, and visual novels. The adventure begins on a vacation space transport, where the machines fail in a chain reaction, catastrophically. Your goal as one of the survivors is to escape the ship in an escape pod. Yes, it's basically a simple Escape Room on a spaceship. ### Features (Genre and gameplay mechanics) The mechanics could be described as a classic mix of Snatcher and an FMV (Full Motion Video) game where we control the game through the use of menus. ### Buyer Persona (Target audience) The minimum recommended age for players would be 16-17 years old. People who might be interested in Western-style narratives. ### Content Rating Blood, Suicide, Religion/Terrorism, Nudity ### Motivation for creating the game The purpose of creating the game is to showcase the mechanics through a minimal viable product and free prologue to test the viability of creating an episodic saga of narrative video games. The number of games in the saga will depend on the reception of this one. ### Inspirations The game is inspired by Snatcher but interpreted as a point-and-click adventure that is also an FMV, moving away from the visual novel concept, as those tend to focus more on dialogues. The saga's narrative will have a strong atheistic and dharma component, inspired by series like Lost in Space, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Stories to Stay Awake, Tales from the Crypt, Creepshow, Star Trek, X-Files, Lost, and Fringe. The prologue of the saga is not focused on introducing complex narratives yet but rather on introducing gameplay mechanics, so its narrative is very simple. ### How Long Around 15 minutes ### AI Disclaimer This project has only been possible thanks to the use of AI.

He has invested all this time without any compensation, with the sole aim of bringing this project to life. This shows that creating a commercial video game is not a task that takes 24 hours to make a game in RTX, as some devtubers suggest. For this reason, after several years as a YouTuber, he decided to close the social media accounts of the doradoro brand, as it is a medium with its own rules, rules that do not favor technical and/or serious content, further appreciating the work of video game media. ### Team Size 1 ### Country of Origin Spain (Andalusian, Castilian, Scottish, and Irish ancestry) ### Foundation (Brand Creation Date) 2019 ### Games Space Tales: Prologue ### Awards and Recognitions ### Pullquotes (featured quotes) ### email [email protected] ### Links [doradoro.com](https://doradoro.com) ### Latest Press Releases [doradoro.com/press.release/](https://doradoro.com/press.release/) ## Information for Influencers, Media, and Copyright Use All information provided in this press kit is free to use with attribution since the idea of a press kit is to serve as a means to talk about the content in question.
