Description
Navigate the war-torn lands of an alternate history Heian period Japan in this FTL-style roguelike, making tough choices in randomized events, fighting off a dangerous yokai army in tactical turn-based combat, and recruiting powerful allies to defeat the bloodthirsty sorceress Takiyasha, all rendered in the beautiful ukiyo-e art style.
History
Picklefeet Games was founded by Thomas Spradling and Tyler Monroe, childhood friends who spent countless hours playing computer, video, card, and board games together. Thomas has a background in fine art and prior professional experience in both indie games and AAA titles. Tyler comes from the world of commercial B2B software development.
In 2015, after launching an indie title with another company, Thomas, Tyler, and Tyler Sabos (yes, just to keep things confusing, there’s a second Tyler) got together and said, “we think we can do this ourselves”. Four more teammates and three prototypes later (and doing this all in their spare time), The Wind and Wilting Blossom was born.
