Twin Sails is teaming up with developers Different Sense Games and Lazy Bear Games, creators of Graveyard Keeper and Punch Club, to publish Bloomtown: A Different Story, a single-player, turn-based JRPG coming to PC and consoles. Bloomtown offers a unique blend of JRPG, monster taming and social RPG elements, all set in an exciting pixel-art world inspired by 1960s Americana.

Join Emily and her group of friends and battle otherworldly forces that embody the fears and vices of Bloomtown’s citizens in turn-based tactical combat. Tame monsters from the Underside and create your own demon-hunting squad with unique team synergies. Time in Bloomtown cannot be stopped, so spend it wisely! Explore the city’s secret areas, exercise at the gym, work at the grocery store, take up gardening, or make resourceful friends. The decisions – and the adventure – are yours!
