PILSEN, Czech Republic - April 4, 2024 - Nejcraft is thrilled to announce that the critically acclaimed "Mad Experiments" series from PlayTogether Studio is coming to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch on April 11th, with an Xbox release following shortly after. Both titles in the series, "Mad Experiments: Escape Room" and "Mad Experiments 2: Escape Room", will launch simultaneously, offering players an immersive cooperative puzzle-solving experience.
Developed by the talented duo at PlayTogether Studio, Clement Marthe and Nicolas Saude, "Mad Experiments" draws inspiration from their shared love of escape rooms, the Victorian era, steampunk aesthetics, and the iconic Bioshock universe. "We wanted to create an immersive escape room experience that challenges players' puzzle-solving skills while fostering teamwork and communication," said Clement Marthe, Programmer, Designer, and Creative Lead at PlayTogether Studio. "Mad Experiments brings that unique cooperative gameplay to the online multiplayer space."
The series has garnered significant recognition, with "Mad Experiments: Escape Room" earning nominations for the Fans' Choice Award and Best Music Award at the 2021 and 2020 Canadian Game Awards, respectively. This success motivated the team to expand upon the original with an even more ambitious sequel.
"Developing Mad Experiments presented various challenges, from creating complementary puzzles with a balanced difficulty progression to optimizing multiplayer functionality across different platforms," Marthe shared. "However, the valuable lessons we learned through community feedback have helped shape the series into the captivating cooperative experience it is today."
Jan Patrovský, Project Manager at Nejcraft, expressed his excitement about the upcoming console release: "We are delighted to partner with PlayTogether Studio to bring the 'Mad Experiments' series to a wider audience on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. These games exemplify the power of cooperative gameplay and showcase the incredible talent within the Canadian game development community."
When not devoting their time to developing games, Marthe and Saude enjoy exploring the breathtaking nature spots Canada has to offer, engaging in outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, and mountain biking. They also share a passion for discovering new technologies and, of course, gaming.
"Mad Experiments: Escape Room" and "Mad Experiments 2: Escape Room" will be available on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch starting April 11th, with an Xbox release to follow.
