Gay game Newfound Courage Winter DLC is released tomorrow
As you may have noticed, Gayming Magazine has got a little more festive lately! Because of that, we’re always on the look-out for more games that include the Christmas spirit and with the Newfound Courage Winter DLC out tomorrow, we think we’ve just found a new way to celebrate!
Newfound Courage is a gay adventure game where you play as a young man called Alex. Alex has just arrived in the little town of Silverpine, and is keen to explore and meet the colourful townsfolk. He also meets a kind-hearted local called Jake and the two become close while trying to solve the mysteries of the Vault.
As for the winter DLC, you’ll be returning to Silverpine to celebrate the Winter’s Fair. Yet with strange events occurring, the Winter’s Fair looks like it may be ruined – leaving it up to Alex, Jake and friends to try and figure out what’s the problem and save the day.
The following features will be included in this new Winter DLC:
- A short story – about one hour – that is focused on narrative with a combination of fresh new puzzles along with old favourites.
- A homely holiday story about chosen family told in Newfound Courage’s familiar lore-rich low fantasy world.
- Revisit your favourite townsfolk and see how they handle the joys (and stresses) of the holidays.
- Brand new pixel art settings, characters, and animations.
- Featuring an extended soundtrack of compositions by award-winning composer and BAFTA crew member Jessica Kelly.
As for why Newfound Courage is getting a Winter DLC, Curtis Campion, the creator behind the game, told us it was to “help people who might feel alone during the holiday season.”
“I wanted to create this DLC for two reasons, first, because I love the concept of having a chosen family, I think it’s the most special thing in the world, and I wanted to celebrate them. And second, because the holidays can be a really hard time of year it’s important, as LGBTQI+ people, that we check in on ourselves and our own chosen families this time of year.”
You can purchase Newfound Courage on Steam right now, as well as pre-purchase the DLC for free.
