The Plucky Squire

All Possible Futures has another Sneak Peak gameplay video for The Plucky Squire ready, with Jot and his friends – Violet and Thrash – venturing to the Sonnet Swamps. After speaking to the Snailfolk, they seek to squash the bugs harassing them, but Jot will need something more long-range to fight with.

Thus begins a quest wherein he exits the book realm and ventures across the desk into the real world. It involves platforming, shifting in and out of paper, drawings, and banners, and ultimately entering a Dungeons and Dragons-esque fantasy card. The battle for the bow plays out like a turn-based encounter, though ultimately, Jot finds victory by simply talking and explaining his position.

From there, Jot returns to his friends and engages in a third-person shooting gallery against the bugs with the new bow (whose art style meshes well with the 2D art).

The Plucky Squire launches on September 17th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It will also be available for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers on day one. Check out some more gameplay here.
