Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but narrative RPGs tend towards Bioware-style. Where decisions affect actions and you are kind of free to choose your own adventure.

This is in contrast to character/story focused RPGs like say, Chrono Trigger, where you are more locked into what's going on and have less agency over the game.

As a frequent enjoyer of "high-quality, narrative-driven RPGs," I wish them great success.

Hope their games will fit into the "high quality" category...

Jesus, we've gone from game announcements of things coming out in the reasonable future, all the way to announcements of the creation of a studio to make a game. Fucking hell, wake me when this is actually a thing in 4+ years.

I'd like to see an example of their narrative driven RPGs before I can get hyped.
