Have You Heard the News?
Big news from us! We’ve put together a three-way publisher consortium to take our digital adaptation of The Thirty Nine Steps to market in 2013.

King’s Cross in The Thirty Nine Steps
As you may know, we’ve been beavering away at making The Thirty Nine Steps for well over a year now – putting our hearts and souls into making what we hope will be a genre-defining piece of interactive storytelling. But the biggest hurdle is always getting the product to market in such a way that people know it exists…
Our publisher line-up puts a new twist on the above – and we think the deal is pretty groundbreaking. Why? Because we’re working with three different publishers, from different industries, for different platform releases – so reaching out to different audiences across the globe from core gamers to traditional readers.
So, cutting to the chase, this is who we’re working with:
- Faber and Faber (one of the UK’s leading independent book publishers for App Store releases)
- Avanquest (one of the world’s leading software publisher for PC retail release)
- Kiss Ltd (brand-new, but packed with experience, for PC & Mac digital releases)
We also have a release date: Friday, 15th March 2013. Expect to see a lot from us over the coming months – and there may well be opportunities for you to get involve, and bag yourself a copy of the title before it hits the shelves!

Hope everyone is having a brilliant festive season (and if you get an iPad 4 from Santa, let us be the first to tell you that The Thirty Nine Steps looks incredible on that retina screen!)

That looks truly gorgeous and I can’t wait to see the release. Will it be available in the US, too, or just the UK?
Hi Lia, thanks for you comments. You will be able to get hold of the product as a digital download in the US come March.
Ooh, FUN! I love what you’re doing! Would love to see my own novel get this treatment at some point down the road!
