Cortex is in ruins.

After waking from a five week coma, Theo Kavinsky finds his life in disrepair, and with no memory of the accident, it’s up to Ted and Teddy – the conscious and subconscious voices in his head – to work out what happened, and put his life back on track.

Headspun is an FMV/Adventure hybrid which puts you in the shoes of Ted: the Director of Cortex - the rational, intelligent voice in Theo's head. What Ted thinks is best for Theo isn't necessarily a view shared by Teddy, however; the primal, emotional subconscious voice...

In the process of repairing Cortex, re-hiring a team and finding out what happened the night of the accident, Ted and Teddy must cast aside their differences and learn to work together. Headspun is a game about recovery, discovery, and the ongoing battle between logic and emotion.

  • Retreive Lost Memories and work out what happened the night of Theo's accident

Today Superstring has launched The Zero-Budget Game Marketing Manual - a resource for indie developers offering Brand, PR and community strategies on a shoestring.

ZeroBudgetGameMarketingManual OU


From the description:

So you've made a game - a great game! - but nobody has bought it. Nobody is talking about it. Nobody knows it exists.

Your problem is one shared with almost every indie developer out there: a lack of awareness.

How do you get attention in a saturated market? How do you communicate what makes your game unique through your marketing assets? How do you create a community and build channels to support it? How do you reach the games media and get influencers playing your game?

How do you sell more copies of your game without having to spend money yourself?

This comprehensive manual - and accompanying materials - shows you how to get your game the attention it deserves with practical, actionable advice, accumulated over twelve years of AAA and indie game marketing experience.

Available in EPUB and MOBI formats, the book is fully optimised for your eReader of choice, and comes with a suite of accompanying resources to help your digital marketing efforts.

The Zero-Budget Game Marketing Manual is available on Amazon/Kindle, Gumroad, Kobo, Itch.io and our own Superstring store. It’s also available through Patreon, and all Superstring patrons, regardless of tier, are entitled to a copy of the book.
