Competitive storytelling game Write Warz launching March 6 with Pirate theme; updated demo on Steam Next Fest
Write Warz is launching soon on Steam Early Access :)
To get the party started, Boltz Entertainment is also taking part in Steam Next Fest this coming Monday with the latest Write Warz demo.
Introducing matchmaking and theme-centric, randomized starting sentences, the demo - featuring a Horror theme - challenges up to 6 participants to tell the most chilling, original, or downright terrifying horror tale. There's no better way to experience Write Warz for the first time - and, of course, get a leg up on the competition ahead of launch!
On March 6, the High-Seas Adventure theme will be added to the game for free. This pirate-focused story module will take you on a thrilling voyage across the open seas with plenty of treasure, mini-games, and sea shanties.
Navigate treacherous waters, buy and sell supplies at various ports, and keep your crew fed and content - or risk mutiny! With every round, your choices matter as you raid rival ships, discover hidden treasures, and fend off enemies in naval battles. Watch out for random events and all-new pirate-themed plot points that can turn the tide of battle in an instant.
Developer Richard Boltz and members of the Boltz Entertainment team will stream the Write Warz demo LIVE on the following dates and times:
Tuesday, February 25 @ 5 p.m. Eastern Time | 2 p.m. Pacific Time
Thursday, February 27 @ 5 p.m. Eastern Time | 2 p.m. Pacific Time
