Huckleberry Fields Forever is OUT NOW!!

To celebrate the launch, the game is on sale for 10% OFF for a limited time. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1560480/ Heres what people are saying about the game so far: "This is probably the best game ever." My son "This is the most fun I've had playing a video game. I love it." My daughter "What's for dinner? I hope it's not meatloaf." My other daughter Huckleberry Fields Forever is launching as Early Access. Today, the main story takes around 12-15 hours, but playtime can be much longer. The game already has a ton of content, but we'll be using Early Access to refine what's there and add even more cool stuff. We can't wait to partner with the community to polish and expand the game! Were excited to finally share this game after over a decade of working on it. This was a labor of love. We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it! Thanks for playing!

Join the Level Editor BETA

The Huckleberry Fields Forever level editor Beta is now underway! In addition to a single-player story mode, Huckleberry Fields Forever will have an online level editor at huckleberryfieldsforever.com where you can create your own levels right in your web browser. (This is not a browser game--only the editor runs in the browser. When you click "Play" in the browser, the game launches via Steam and opens the level you just created.)

Before the full game is released, we're testing the online level editor and need your help.

Release

Indie Adventure Singleplayer Multiplayer Coop EA

Chase thieves around the globe. 50+ real-world locations. Hundreds of levels.

Interview witnesses. Gather clues. Eliminate suspects.

Awesome co-op platforming action.

Mystery platformer: Classic 2D platforming action mixed with mystery and exploration. Was the thief bald? Did he wear glasses? He went sailing on the Spree--where's that? (If your geography is rusty, don't worry, press pause and check the handy in-game reference.)
Travel the world: Catch a flight to anywhere on the globe open-world-style and visit hundreds of levels across over 50 real-world locations.
Procedurally generated: Each case is procedurally generated from meticulously handcrafted components, including the world maps, levels, and even the suspects.
Exploration: Secret exits, hidden rooms, invisible blocks, special items. Keep your eyes open because there's a lot to find and discover in each and every level.

Hidden in each level are witnesses and clues. Find them to figure out what the thief looks like and where they went. Or get distracted earning coins to spend in shops, riding motorcycles, completing outdoor patches (sidequests), or even get a job. But don't dally too long.

Huckleberry and friends have only 72 hours—about an hour in real time—to solve each case, which is perfect for a single play session. Play for an hour and actually accomplish something. Or binge your way through the whole multi-case story arc. That's cool too.

Randomly generated cases and procedurally generated levels means no two cases will be the same. New suspects, new world maps, and new levels every case.

The world is packed with 100+ unique items to discover and collect over the course of your adventure. Upgradeable weapons, equippable shoes that provide new abilities, permanent skill upgrades, and even new characters and outfits are scattered throughout the world for you to find and play with.

Solve the case alone or with friends. Grab three of your closest buddies and work together to track down the thief. Or just hit each other with hammers and baseball bats in a frantic race to the level exit. Either way. It mostly depends on what kind of friends you have.
