Hi friend!
Hope this newsletter finds you well! It’s starting to get quite chilly, so be sure to find ways to stay warm. Nothing beats a fuzzy blanket, hot chocolate or another warm drink, and time spent with loved ones!
That last one is the most important – while we love what we do here at Future Friends, we’re all excited to go on our holiday break and get some nice rest, yippee!
Let’s get into the news part of the “newsletter”: If you missed it, The Cabin Factory is out now! It’s a “spot the difference” horror game in which you work for the Cabin Factory Corporation, which is dedicated to creating the best-in-class hyper-realistic horror cabins for the movie and theme park industries. Step into a series of cabins and evaluate whether they’re haunted or safe – if you can manage to escape alive to tell the tale…
The Cabin Factory is available for $2.99 / 2,99€ / £2.49 with a 10% launch discount! Cheap on price, but not on frights!
“Deserves a spot in the library of any horror fan.” – VICE
“This game is CREEPY.” – CaseOh (full video here)
“Too scary for me.” – A sensitive Future Friend
Thank you so much for your support for this game. The numbers we’ve done on TikTok have made us so happy, and that’s without mentioning the 3 million views we got on the announcement tweet! (The Cabin Factory actually kind of ended up going viral three times lol oops no biggie 💅 so truly thank you for the love!!)
