Press release:
The Verona-based (Italy) indie games publisher and developer Fantastico Studio and Marcaria-based (Lombardia, Italy) indie games developer Safe Place Studio, today announced with great thrill and joy that their emotional and thought-provoking adventure game “Venice 2089“, is now available for consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores for 6.99 USD/Euros (“Venice 2089” is also available for PC via Steam!).

Step into the shoes of a bored teenager, and explore a future Venice struggling with the effects of slowly rising water that’s destroying the city. Traverse the semi-submerged streets of Venice on a hoverboard, and solve puzzles with the help of a trusty drone.

The city of Venice, once a significant tourism destination but now almost uninhabited, is struggling with the unpredictable behaviour of tides. Some of the most important monuments are being taken away, among the complaints of the citizens, and the lower part of the city becomes inaccessible more often than not. In Venice 2089, you’ll explore the city through the eyes of Nova, a bored teenager who has no clue about what to do in life and just wants to relax from the stress of their usual routine. Yet tides change for everyone without exception…

Navigate the streets of the city in a unique 2.5D artstyle. Explore numerous points of interest from Nova’s Boat-house in Santa Marta to the cleaner calli of Punta della Dogana. And watch out for the rising tides, they’ll change the way you move throughout Venice!

Meet a diverse cast of characters scattered throughout the city. Know their personalities, learn their points of view and help them in different quests. Fill your house-boat with important objects, and remember the experiences you made.

Use your hoverboard to navigate Venice, perform tricks and create a dynamic soundtrack that’ll match your mood. Interact with the world using your drone, collect objects out of your reach and solve some puzzles.
