Called Nightmares in October, the new game from the Chien d’Or studio, focuses on the October Crisis, the socio-political event that shook the entire country when pro-independence extremists kidnapped a British diplomat and provincial minister Pierre Laporte. An action which, as we remember, led the Canadian Parliament to enact the War Measures Act.
The game has been in development for a year and will be officially unveiled at a special evening at Tambour du Ste-Cath. The studio will also announce a crowdfunding campaign on the Kickstarter platform to implement this unique project in the world of video games.
