Happy November. Or, at least, it will be. Wishes Unlimited (Wandersong<\/a><\/em>, Chicory<\/em>) has announced<\/a> that turn-based volleyball monster game Beastieball<\/em> will be launched into Early Access for PC on November 12, 2024.<\/p> I almost overlooked Beastieball<\/em> entirely. I had my head down with other things when the developer emailed me. I didn\u2019t look too closely at the email until they followed up later. I was skimming through it when I realized it\u2019s being developed by the folks behind Chicory<\/em>. If I\u2019m not mistaken, out of all the games I\u2019ve reviewed for Destructoid, Chicory <\/em>has the highest score of 9.5<\/a>. The only game to have breached the 9 threshold for me. Chicory<\/em> profoundly impacted me, so much so that I haven\u2019t played it a second time because I\u2019m not sure I could take another blow, even if I see it coming.<\/p> So, I\u2019m hoping Beastieball<\/em> doesn\u2019t have quite the same impact, which might be a strange thing to wish for. I\u2019ve played as much of the demo as my currently overburdened schedule will allow (it isn\u2019t much), and while the writing is still sharp and detailed, I think Beastieball<\/em> is aiming more to be an entertaining rather than profound experience. Although, truthfully, there\u2019s enough setup here for an emotional journey of the burdens of fame and the cost of turning your hobbies into a job, but\u2026 ah\u2026 uh oh.<\/p><\/iframe>
