Fantastico Studio and the late Ruggero Deodato have teamed up to create an exciting visual novel game titled ‘Cannibal Tales‘. If you’ve been eagerly waiting to explore Deodato’s final project, here’s some good news: a demo for the game will be available on August 7, allowing you to get a taste of what’s in store.

In a poignant interview recorded before his passing in late 2022, Deodato shared his thoughts on venturing into the world of video games with his script. He expressed that it was the perfect opportunity to “complete my circle” as a storyteller. The director was pleased with the progress of the project, then known as ‘Borneo: A Jungle Nightmare’, especially praising the character portrayals and the overall atmospheric feel.

For those needing a refresher, there was a temporary setback during development, as ‘Borneo’ faced financial constraints and had to be reworked into the visual novel ‘Cannibal Tales’. The first part of this captivating three-part story, titled ‘The Interview’, is now scheduled for release in January 2024 on Steam (previously slated for Winter 2023).

As for the contents of the upcoming demo, it remains a mystery for now. However, fans won’t have to wait much longer to experience the captivating world of ‘Cannibal Tales’. Mark your calendars for August 7 and get ready to immerse yourself in this thrilling adventure.
