NEXT FROM CHECKERED CROWN

Chapter 1 arrives before Black Friday.

A new story-driven RPG adventure

Percy and the
Book of Beginnings

Every great adventure begins with a little curiosity.

Meet Percy, a young boy whose ordinary world is filled with family, friends, and a village worth exploring.

A world worth exploring

Wander through a lively illustrated village, meet its residents, and discover hidden details. The village streets, square, interiors and conversations shown here are from the current development build.

Beyond the familiar paths

In the planned adventure, an ancient Book draws Percy into an extraordinary mystery. Joined by companions from the Checkered Crown Company, he will discover that courage isn’t always about winning a fight, and knowledge can be the greatest power of all.

A FIRST LOOK AT PERCY’S WORLD

Small places. Big possibilities.

PLAY. EXPLORE. GROW.

The adventure is just beginning.

Inspired by the spirit of classic JRPG adventures, Percy and the Book of Beginnings is being designed to make learning part of the adventure itself. Our goal is simple: a game children genuinely want to play, with a world families can feel good about exploring.

Development is underway. The wider adventure and future areas and systems are still in development; these screenshots are a first look, not a playable demo.

Chapter 1 arrives before Black Friday.
