Launch of Island Questaway – What’s up?
GDEV announced the launch of Island Questaway on 30th November 2021. It is a new online game that was formerly accessible on iOS and Android under the title Puzzle Island. Island Questaway is a significant addition to Nexters’ portfolio, as it allows the company to expand beyond the established mid-core investment into casual gaming. Moreover, Island Questaway represents a new, emerging form of gaming that offers the sophisticated mechanics anticipated in mid-core with the accessibility of a casual title.
The only objective is to let casual gamers experience the same level of gameplay and story that core players love. Furthermore, the developers behind Island Questaway previously worked on Nexters’ first casual game, Island Experiment. While the development team is working on a story expansion, additional gameplay elements, and live events, the current edition already has enough material and intriguing gaming mechanics.
