Torus Announces 'Little Monsters'

Torus is proud to announce our original prototype title, Little Monsters.
Starring eight stylized, archetypal monsters such as werewolves, mummies and zombies, this family platform title is based on cooperative, problem-solving game elements in an interactive 3D world. Developed with the assistance of Film Victoria, Little Monsters delivers a rich visual style which contrasts bright colouring with an ambient, spooky world that creates a deliciously eerie - but not overtly sinister - atmosphere.
Torus is currently seeking a publishing partner to bring this game to the world.
