Mad Cave Studios announced the December release of Long Cold Winter, a sci-fi dystopian tale by Francesca Perillo and Stefano Cardoselli.
In the not-too-distant future, the air on Earth has become unbreathable. However, a multinational company called Air Co. has constructed generators that provide oxygen for those who can afford it. Peace Dog, a desperate ex-soldier, who has been willing to do anything to obtain breathable air is haunted by his past and hunted by bounty hunters, though, he may have found a way out of his current predicament by helping a mysterious robot child escape the dangerous and congested city. But, someone from his past has no intention of letting him leave…alive.
“I care a lot about this story set in a dark and fragile future because it raises some reflections that concern all of us, as men and as citizens of the world,” said Francesca Perillo in a press release from Mad Cave Studios. “Today we inhabit planet Earth without awareness; we are distracted, we live overwhelmed by technology and progress and I believe it is necessary to return to taking care of ourselves and our relationship with the environment. I personally spent my childhood in the countryside; my grandparents taught me the value of respect for nature and I am thrilled to have been able to address this topic. Long Cold Winter is a story aimed at a young adult audience for those who love science fiction and westerns. It may seem like a cruel story (and maybe it is) but it carries with it a message of hope.”
Long Cold Winter arrives on December 4, 2024.
