Nanotale Arrives in Steam Early Access

Nanotale News

Nanotale is the next installment in the Typing Chronicles franchise from Fishing Cactus, and it’s now in Steam Early Access for 14.99 USD. The only weapon you need is a keyboard, and you cast powerful spells to manipulate the environment and defeat foes. Your accuracy and speed are the ultimate keys to success.

Nanotale tells a fascinating story of a world on the brink of destruction, as the last remnants of magic are dying out. As Archivist Rosalind, you set out on a journey to collect both plant and rock samples, and unlock mysterious occurrences. This world is on the edge of demise, but perhaps you can set things right.

“We are happy to release Nanotale on Steam Early Access and can’t wait to hear what players think,” said Bruno Urbain, CEO of Fishing Cactus. “Combining adventure and action RPG elements, Nanotale brings a fresh take on typing games, which we hope fans of the genre will appreciate.”

Rival Games and Skybound Entertainment are bringing Thief of Thieves: Season One to life for 19.99 USD.
