During the 505 Games Spring 2022 Showcase, the first ever in the company’s 15-year history, Patrice Bouédibéla introduced the titles coming in 2022 and 2023. The Italian game publisher was recognized in 2021 as one of the top 10 publishers on Metacritic.
In the 35-minute show, Bouédibéla and game developers introduced their titles and shared some detailed information of their development.
Along with the presentation video, the company distributed the following info of each title presented today with a short trailer for two games. However, it’s worth watching the entire presentation to learn more about the developers themselves and the games they are working on.
Among the Trolls
Among the Trolls is a first-person, survival, action-adventure game where the strange mysteries of Finnish forests are unraveled.
You play as either Alex or Anna, who travelled from the U.S. to Finland to visit their grandparents, living in an isolated cabin located among the towering trees. When you find that the cabin has been abandoned and your grandparents have vanished, you are pulled into a world of Nordic mythology and memories of childhood summers spent with your loved ones.
Embark on a quest to find your missing grandparents and learn how to survive in the wilderness, dealing with the supernatural creatures of Finnish mythology and the animistic nature of the world. Follow in your grandfather’s footsteps and discover the rune-singer within.
Break free from society and get lost in the woods — among the trolls.
Key Features
· Finnish Folklore: Experience and explore a vast world full of Finnish folklore, mythology, and ancient
shamanistic magic.
· Find your Roots: Start an empowering adventure as you unearth your past and be prepared to discover more
about the mysterious disappearance of your grandparents.
· Survival: Build, settle, and survive in the idyllic but sometimes unforgiving, Finnish backcountry, using your

· Magical Attributes: Gain Sisu (Grit), Väki (Magic) and Lykky (Luck), which are key to survival among the
trolls. Learn how these ancient traits affect and intertwine with other character attributes and with the
surrounding environment, the player’s actions, natural resources, and natural and supernatural creatures.
· Audiovisual Experience: Enter a beautifully crafted 3D world, combining nostalgia, strangeness, as well
modern and ancient instrumentation, merged with the authentic sounds of Nordic nature that will make you
