You play a handcrafted puppet in a papercraft world in Hidalgo, a newly announced cozy narrative adventure that’s playable in co-op. It’s based on the novel Don Quijote de La Mancha, and it’s in development for PC.
Appropriately named developer Infinite Thread games promises first-person parallax puzzles, cozy boss battles, environmental puzzles, and a wholesome-themed story. When playing in co-op, one player controls Don Quijote, while the other controls Sancho. Check out the announcement trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.
Hidalgo is due out later this year on PC. Wishlist it on Steam if you’re interested.
