The Plucky Squire is one of those games that almost makes too much sense for the art book treatment. After all, the game shares its title with the book inside the game. Now, players will be able to flip through an art book about a game about a book.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, The Plucky Squire is an adventure game that mixes multiple genres, including top-down action-adventure, side-scrolling platforming, and more.
You play as Jot, a character in the The Plucky Squire book where the game takes place. Unfortunately, Jot is forced out of his home by Humgrump. This sets up The Plucky Squire’s unique visual and gameplay style. The Plucky Squire melds hand-drawn 2D and colorful 3D graphics as Jot ventures forth on his adventure outside and inside of the book. It’s an ambitious debut game from indie studio All Possible Futures. The studio was co-founded by ex-Pokemon art director James Turner, and Jonathan Biddle, who served as creative director on another hand-drawn Zelda-like indie, The Swords of Ditto. The game is designed to be approachable for younger players, but based on our latest hands-on impressions, it is shaping up to be a fun time for all ages.
