Narrative adventure developer Telltale has snapped up Flavourworks, the UK-based studio behind FMV game Erica.
This is, of course, the more recently-reborn version of Telltale which sprung back to life in 2019 under new management, after the original Telltale went under.
Flavourworks, meanwhile, remains best known as the developer of Erica, which first launched for PlayStation 4 back in 2019. In the years since it has refocused around mobile, and released the similarly movie-like Hush – Crane, based around the company’s smart TouchVideo tech.
It sounds like Telltale is very interested in TouchVideo, which is designed to let players seamlessly interact with recorded video (pulling back the trigger of a gun on a smartphone screen simply by making the appropriate on-screen motion over the video footage, for example).
