Press release:
Kitchener, Ontario — Feb. 16, 2023.
The Bellevue-based (Seattle, Washington, the US) indie games publisher tinyBuild and Kitchener-based (Ontario, Canada) indie games developer Fluxscopic Ltd., are today super excited and happy to announce that their fast-paced puzzle/action adventure “Mayhem in Single Valley” is coming to consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores on March 2nd, 2023 (“Mayhem in Single Valley” is already available for PC via Steam!).

Guide Jack, an aspiring artist accepted into the college of his dreams. As he prepares to leave his hometown for art school, a terrible truck collision spills toxic sludge into the local water supply, transforming Jack’s neighbors and the surrounding wildlife of Single Valley into mindless zombies. With his neighborhood irradiated and the undead running rampant, Jack has no choise but to put his college plans on hold: this rising freshman now rises to save the world.

Search Single Valley and determine how to stop the apocalypse. Solve puzzles and locate collectibles while dodging, luring, and stunning mutated enemies. Evade blood-thirsty bunnies, contaminated cats, and barbaric bears. Loot new materials to use as equipment and set up distractions to create paths through hordes of the undead. Learn the best ways to avoid conflict like tossing carrots to distract critters or firing nuts and bolts from a slingshot to daze the infected.

Explore a beautiful pixelated world populated with 2D characters placed on a 3D modeled canvas, using shadows to enhance the atmosphere. A retro-inspired original soundtrack combined with 8-bit sound effects pays homage to the classic days of gaming, serenading survivors with a comforting sense of nostalgia.

“Paying homage to some of our favorite old-school titles with a more modernized design sensibility has been a rewarding experience, but nothing has been more fulfilling than receiving praise and gratitude from our passionate community saving Single Valley on PC,” – Said Brian Cullen, Founder at Fluxcopic.

“We’re thrilled to expand onto consoles and eagerly await seeing new survivalists respond to the quirky characters of Single Valley.”

Mayhem in Single Valley will launch Thursday March 2, 2023, on PlayStation 5|4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, for $14.99 USD, and is currently available on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GoG. Language support includes English, French, Italian, German, Spanish – Spain, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese.
